Low Back Pain
Comprehensive, Targeted Relief for Chronic and Acute Back Pain
My Approach to Treating Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common and debilitating conditions, affecting millions of people and limiting their ability to perform everyday activities. At my clinics we understand the complexities of back pain and offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Using advanced techniques like ultrasound-guided injection therapies and minimally invasive procedures, we target the sources of pain to provide relief, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of low back pain conditions, including:
Chronic Lower Back Pain: Persistent pain that affects daily life and has lasted for more than three months.
Sciatica: Pain radiating down the leg from pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Damage to the spinal discs causing pain and nerve irritation.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress nerves and cause pain.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Inflammation or misalignment of the sacroiliac joint.
Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to the underlying causes of their pain and focused on providing long-term relief.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Options
Ultrasound-Guided Injection Therapies
Precision is key in treating low back pain, and our use of ultrasound guidance ensures accurate placement of injections, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing discomfort.Steroid Injections: Used to reduce inflammation around spinal nerves, providing relief from sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.
Facet Joint Injections: Targeting the small joints in the spine, these injections relieve pain caused by arthritis or joint dysfunction.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections: Specifically designed to alleviate pain stemming from the sacroiliac joint.
Trigger Point Injections: For patients with muscle spasms and tightness, trigger point injections release muscle knots and relieve localized back pain.
Therapeutic Nerve Blocks
By blocking pain signals from specific nerves, these injections provide significant relief from conditions like sciatica and facet joint pain. They are often used as both diagnostic tools and treatments.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Our team works closely with physical therapists to integrate exercise and stretching programs designed to strengthen the back, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of future injuries.Lifestyle and Preventive Care Counseling
