Common questions about back pain
What causes chronic back pain?
Chronic back pain can result from herniated discs, arthritis, spinal stenosis, muscle strain, nerve compression, or degenerative spinal conditions. Identifying the underlying cause helps determine the most effective treatment.
What are the best treatments for chronic back pain?
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your pain. Options may include physical therapy, medications, epidural steroid injections, medial branch nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and other targeted procedures.
Can back pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many cases of back pain can be managed without surgery through physical therapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, and minimally invasive pain management procedures.
How do I know if my back pain is serious?
Back pain that persists, worsens, or causes numbness, tingling, or weakness should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. New bladder or bowel dysfunction, saddle numbness, or rapidly worsening weakness requires emergency evaluation.
