Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care and a leading cause of disability. It can result from muscle or ligament strain, bulging or ruptured discs, arthritis, skeletal irregularities, or osteoporosis. The pain may be constant or intermittent, staying in one place or radiating to other areas. Acute back pain typically lasts a few days to a few weeks, while chronic back pain persists for 12 weeks or longer. Even after the initial cause of acute back pain is treated, chronic pain can develop due to changes in the nervous system. Our board-certified pain specialists at Spinal Interventions evaluate each patient thoroughly to identify the specific source of back pain and develop a personalized treatment plan using minimally invasive procedures and medication management.
