Back Pain Management

Back pain is the most common cause of disability in people under age 45. Roughly 60% of the $27 billion spent on musculo-skeletal trauma annually is for lower back pain and more than half of that goes for surgical procedures.

Although back pain and disorders can be caused by a single traumatic injury or disease, most are the result of months or years of:


Poor posture Bad ergonomics in the workplace Stressful living	Insufficient nutrition Poor physical fitness Lack of flexibility

Any number of circumstances can lead to painful back conditions that impact your quality of life. Serious conditions that can result in extreme back pain include:


Cancer Pain Compression Fractures Degenerative Disc Disease Facet Joint Arthritis	Herniated Disc Nerve Related Disorders Osteoarthritis	Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Sciatica Spinal Stenosis

Back pain can limit mobility and impede your ability to participate in physical therapy and rehabilitation, slowing the recovery process.

When back pain does not respond notably to traditional treatment, interventional medicine provides options that can deliver powerful pain medication directly to the source.

Common pain relief options include:


Epidural Steroid Injections Facet Nerve & Nerve Injections Nerve Blocks Percutaneous Vertebroplasty	Sacroiliac Joint Injections Selective Nerve Root Block Trigger Point Injections
