Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting people of all ages. It refers to discomfort or pain felt in the upper, middle, or lower back, and it can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation.

Back pain may be caused by muscle strain, poor posture, disc problems, arthritis, injuries, or underlying medical conditions. While most cases improve with rest, physical therapy, or medication, persistent or severe back pain may require medical evaluation to rule out serious issues.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of services for back pain, including:

  • Diagnostic Evaluation: Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, such as imaging tests (X-rays, MRI scans) and physical examination, to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of back pain. We take the time to listen to your concerns, conduct a thorough assessment, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
  • Non-surgical Treatment: Many cases of back pain can be effectively managed with conservative, non-surgical treatments. These may include rest, ice therapy, heat therapy, physical therapy, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, activity modification, ergonomic modifications, over-the-counter or prescription medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections may be recommended to alleviate pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing. These procedures are performed under fluoroscopic guidance and can provide targeted relief for specific sources of back pain.
  • Surgical Intervention: For severe or persistent cases of back pain that do not respond to conservative treatments, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our team offers a variety of surgical procedures, including discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, artificial disc replacement, and minimally invasive spine surgery, to address the underlying cause of back pain and restore function.
  • What are the common causes of back pain?
    Back pain can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, ligament sprain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, traumatic injuries (such as falls or car accidents), poor posture, and underlying medical conditions (such as degenerative disc disease or spinal infections).
  • How is back pain diagnosed?
    Diagnosis of back pain typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including a physical examination, medical history review, and may include imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans to assess the structure of the spine and identify any underlying abnormalities or injuries.
  • What are the treatment options for back pain?
    Treatment for back pain depends on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. Non-surgical treatment options may include rest, ice therapy, heat therapy, physical therapy, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, activity modification, ergonomic modifications, over-the-counter or prescription medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgical intervention may be necessary to address underlying structural issues or injuries.
  • How long does it take to recover from back pain?
    The recovery time for back pain varies depending on factors such as the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, type of treatment received, and individual patient factors. Mild cases of back pain may improve with conservative treatments within a few days to a few weeks, while more severe or chronic cases may require longer recovery periods or ongoing management to maintain symptom relief.
  • Can back pain be prevented?
    While not all cases of back pain can be prevented, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk, including maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active with regular exercise (including core-strengthening exercises), practicing good posture, using proper lifting techniques, avoiding excessive bending or twisting movements, using supportive footwear, and using ergonomic furniture and equipment at work and home.
