Understanding Low Back Pain

Low back pain refers to discomfort or pain localized below the ribcage and above the hips, often extending into the buttocks or thighs. It can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as stiffness, muscle spasms, or radiating pain into the legs. Common causes of low back pain include muscle strain, ligament sprain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and vertebral fractures.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

When you visit Spine Sure Clinic for low back pain, our team conducts a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. This may involve a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. By pinpointing the specific source of your pain, we can tailor a treatment plan to address your unique needs.

Treatment Options

Our approach to treating low back pain is multidisciplinary, encompassing both conservative and interventional modalities. Depending on the severity and nature of your condition, treatment options may include:

Physical Therapy

Targeted exercises and manual therapy techniques to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, thereby reducing pain and enhancing function.

Medications

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, or analgesics may be prescribed to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Spinal Injections

Epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections can provide temporary relief by delivering medication directly to the affected area to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

For conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis, minimally invasive procedures like discectomy or decompression surgery may be recommended to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves and alleviate symptoms.

Lifestyle Modifications

Education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic principles, and lifestyle modifications can help prevent future episodes of low back pain and promote spinal health.
