Non-Surgical Treatment for Spine Disorder

Spine disorder can happen to anyone because of our daily routines, such as heavy lifting, posture, accidents, or aging. It usually manifests itself as “pain” which can become chronic. In some cases, surgery may be necessary and that leads to fear and anxiety, especially post-surgery paints, including side effects. Additional corrective surgeries will need to be thoroughly reviewed.


 

Treatment Options For Spine Disorders

Pain management due to spine disorders follows a sequential treatment which begins with

  1. Medication, such as pain medications, muscle relaxants, or NSAIDS, including spinal steroid injections.
  2. Physical therapy to relax the muscles and train the correct way to use back muscles.
  3. Surgery in cases where pain disrupts daily life. Surgery will be necessary by open surgery to separate the muscles from the bone. In some cases, a part of the bone will need to be removed. Recovery will be long and the patients have a chance of relapse.

Spinal Interventions As A Non-Surgical Approach

Interventional spine pain management focuses on finding the root cause of pain prior to treatment. The technique involves pain management without surgery by “injections” or “radiofrequency ablation” at the root cause of the pain. This depends on the type of pain and the location of the pain. The advantages of this type of treatment is that it can pinpoint the pain, lead to understanding the real cause of the pain. A pain intervention specialist helps diagnose and find the root cause by various methods to alleviate or cure the pain.
