Back Pain Management Can Sometimes Require Surgery

Back pain management can involve anything from taking a few ibuprofen to undergoing a highly invasive surgery that requires months of recovery. The treatment that’s right for you depends largely on the cause of your back pain, its severity, and how advanced your condition is. Nearly all common back conditions—such as spinal stenosis, bulging and herniated discs, bone spurs, and sciatica—can be treated with conservative methods. These include physical therapy, hot and cold compresses, over-the-counter medications, massage, traction, and more. 

If you suffer from one of these conditions and it’s very severe, it may require a more aggressive method of back pain management. That could include prescription pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs, spinal steroid injections, and in rare cases, surgery. Because it involves cutting into the skin, uses some form of anesthesia, and causes trauma to the body, surgery is almost always a last resort for back pain sufferers. However, there are surgical treatments available at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) that require only limited incisions and come with a greatly reduced risk of complications. These treatments are highly effective too. More than 85% of our patients report an increased quality of life within three months of having the procedure, and some even say they felt relief from their symptoms within hours of the procedure.

If you’d like to learn more about back pain management at LSI, contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free.
