Common Back Pain Treatment Options

By Jerome Hoffman


Chronic lower back painaffects many American men and women and can significantly reduce a person's mobility and quality of life. There are countless reasons for chronic lower back pain and one of the most common is the inflammation of the intervertebral discs that are located between the bones of the spine. A healthy disc functions as a shock absorber for the spine-when injured or degenerated, these discs can become quite painful and lead to chronic problems.

To help alleviate the pain of disc degeneration and other disc diseases, medical scientists have developed and introduced an advanced, minimally-invasive procedure called radiofrequency Annuloplasty. Unlike traditional open-back surgical procedures that require large incisions and a long recovery period, this less-invasive method of surgery requires only the tiniest of incisions and in most cases delivers excellent results. In addition, minimally-invasive procedures often carry a much lower risk for infection and post-surgical complications than traditional open-back surgery.

Physical Therapy - A physical therapist can retrain a patient's muscles and strengthen areas that have been injured or deteriorated. If you experience back pain, a physical therapist can help you adjust the way that you move your body to eliminate motions which put unnecessary strain on your back. Especially Active -Based therapy which focuses on flexibility and strengthening to help reverse negatives changes brought on by pain. This therapy provides relief more quickly than a passive approach typically.

Many physical therapy programs will provide education and training to patients so that they can complete in-home exercises after their first visit. These exercises are designed to complement each physical therapy session and help patients learn how to continue their therapy regimen once the program is complete. For example, the exercise tips provided for at-home completion are outlined in such a way that patients can perform them without the supervision of a physical therapist and without the risk of injury or back pain. In addition, many physical therapy programs help patients transition to gym-based exercises that they can continue exercising long after their physical therapy treatment is over. Continual exercise and participation in physical-therapy based regimens at-home can help patients treat their own pain, heal faster, and avoid re-occurring back and neck problems.
