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.

Radiofrequency Annuloplasty is a typically very safe procedure. As with any minimally invasive medical procedure, there are risks that you'll want to discuss with your physician before any type of treatment is administered. The potential side effects or risks that occur infrequently can be:

The physical therapists at SpineOne Rehab in Denver utilize the Active Physical Therapy approach and work with each patient to provide a customized at-home physical therapy program to fit their needs.

For some causes of back pain, minimally-invasive spine care is often one of the best treatment options available. These solutions can provide long-lasting pain relief and inherently do not have all of the potential complications that an open-back surgery may present. Many patients who once had severe, even debilitating, back pain are now living active, healthy lifestyles. A spine specialist will help you with a treatment plan that will address your specific condition with the option that is best suited for you.
