neck & back pain management

Neck and back pain management involves a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating pain in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions. Pain in these areas can be caused by various conditions, including degenerative diseases, injuries, or infections. Effective management aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the patient's quality of life.

Causes of Neck & Back Pain:

• Degenerative Disc Disease: Disc degeneration leading to pain and possible herniation
• Herniated Discs: Discs that bulge or rupture, pressing on spinal nerves.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, causing nerve compression.
• Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of spinal joints, leading to pain and stiffness.
• Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine.
• Muscle Strains and Ligament Sprains: Overuse or acute injuries causing soft tissue damage.
• Spinal Fractures: Breaks in the vertebrae due to trauma or conditions like osteoporosis.
• Infections and Tumors: Rare causes that can lead to pain and neurological symptoms.

Neck and back pain management involves a multidisciplinary approach to address the underlying causes of pain and restore function. It includes conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, as well as interventional procedures and surgical options for more severe or persistent cases. Accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans are essential for effective management and improving patient outcomes.
