Spine Pain:
Spine pain is one of the most common reason for visiting a doctor. Sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, poor posture, irregular eating habits, and obesity are some of the causes of back pain. Spine pain or pain arising from the spine is one of the reasons of back pain, and when this pain goes down the leg, it is commonly referred to as “sciatica”.
100% Non-Surgical Treatments for Spine Pain:
The back is composed of various structures, including the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, muscles, ligaments, bones, joints, and the spinal cord. Your doctor has to examine you clinically, perform few maneuvers, and order few investigations which include X-rays or MRI scans. Once it is clear that pain is arising from the spine, and not from the myofascial structures, a definitive treatment plan can be formulated.
- Facetal Arthropathy: Facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae. Inflammation at these joints is common in young back pain patients, especially athletes or sports persons. Pain is aggravated on backward bending or twisting movements. X-ray guided injection into or around the affected joint gives excellent relief.
- Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc: Age related degeneration leads to prolapse of the disc and compression of the adjacent nerve root. Pain is common in the midline, radiating down the limb. Pain is aggravated on forward bending. Epidural injection and/or selective nerve root block gives good relief.
- Sacroilitis: Inflammation of the joint between the spine and the pelvis (sacroiliac joint). Common in young adults, sedentary lifestyle. Pain is aggravated on turning sides in bed. It is maximum in the morning and is associated with stiffness. Injection of the joint under X-ray imaging gives relief from symptoms.
Spine pain is mainly caused due to the above reasons. Other causes like fracture, collapse, metastases can also lead to spine pain. Common causes of back pain are however mainly myofascial including muscle sprain, ligament strain, and trigger points.
A thorough clinical examination and appropriate imaging can help pin-point diagnosis, thus guiding the way forward for the best possible management.
