PHYSIOTHERAPY

There are active as well as inactive treatments. Inactive therapies such as heat and cold therapy, ultrasonic massage, TENS, and others serve to enhance circulation by easing pain, inflammation, and muscular tension. Traditional therapy like stretching and strengthening exercises are examples of active treatments. Back pain patients who receive customised physical treatment can regain function and resume their regular jobs. 

NON-SURGICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT

• Transforaminal Selective Nerve Root Block: a small amount of medicine is deposited near the compressed nerve root under flouroscopic guidance to relieve nerve compression
• Epidural injection – Your doctor will insert a small needle into the epidural area and administer a small dose of medication to relieve the pain under fluoroscopic guidance. It is regarded as very effective for the treatment of back pain.
• Facet joint blocks where drugs are delivered into the facet joint
• Spinal cord stimulations: A wonderful and effective therapeutic option that can relieve pain without surgery when the inflammation in and around the affected nerves is too high for an epidural injection.
• Radiofrequency ablation – In this procedure, the affected nerve is degenerated with the help of heat.
• Ozone discectomy
• vertebroplasty & kyphoplasty:  An effective non-surgical treatment option for  pain due to fracture in the vertebrae
