Non-Surgical Treatments for Spine Pain: What Are Your Options?

12 Nov, 2024

Surgery should always be a last resort. That is the core tenet for us here at The Spine and Scoliosis Center, and for good reason- we simply want you to be okay, with the least invasive treatments possible. Of course, if surgery is the only recourse, then that is what must be done. But if or when there are other options, we should pursue them. At The Spine and Scoliosis Center, we prioritize non-invasive treatments that can help patients alleviate back pain while avoiding surgery. If you have been living with back pain, know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Our experienced team and state-of-the-art facilities are at your disposal on your journey towards a life free from the agony of back pain. 

Assessing Each Individual’s Options

Our clinic offers a wide array of non-invasive treatments to help patients recover from back pain as swiftly and easily as possible. At The Spine and Scoliosis Center, we understand that each patient is unique and that is why we strive to find the treatment and rehabilitation plan that works best for each patient’s individual circumstances. First, our experienced and caring team will thoroughly assess your situation and evaluate the specific problem you are encountering. After employing advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the root cause of your problem, we will prescribe you an individualized treatment plan according to your specific situation. 

Common Non-Surgical Treatments We Offer

While every patient’s situation is unique and may involve a combination of these methods, these are some of our top non-surgical approaches:

  1. Guided Self Treatment Towards Holistic Recovery: This intensive course of treatment involves working with one of our highly experienced physical therapists. The therapist will target your problem areas through specific exercises to alleviate pain in a totally natural manner. Exercise and physical therapy offer some of the most proven results for back pain. However, remember that the choice to avoid surgery needs to be discussed with your spinal specialist. Avoiding surgery is possible but can take a significant amount of hard work through physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and lifelong consistency. If you’re an active person dedicated to being able to do things for yourself, this program may be best for you.
  2. Spine interventions: An epidural steroid injection consists of an injection of a tiny dose of an anti-inflammatory medicine. The dose of medicine is directly delivered into the injured section of the back in order to offer the patient near-instantaneous relief. This helps the patient avoid having to take oral medication in large doses over time. The anti-inflammatory can last from months to years and will need to be repeated after it wears off. There is little to no downtime.
