Medical studies predict that 8 out of 10 people will experience some form of back pain at some point in their lives. And about 8% of the adult population live with chronic back pain — consistent pain that continues for 3 months or more. Those experiencing chronic back pain describe the feeling as a dull ache, stabbing pain, burning sensation, or constant tingling. If you think you are experiencing chronic back pain, don’t wait to get treated. Prolonged nerve irritation can lead to permanent disabilities, damage to the nerves, and issues with daily functioning. Nobody in pain should wait.

The role of pain management is to understand, diagnose, and treat the root cause of pain or discomfort. There are many non-surgical methods used to relieve chronic back pain, including pain medication (ibuprofen, Aleve, or prescription drugs), acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, cortisone injections, electrical nerve stimulation, and other nonsurgical spine treatments. Daily exercise is also known to lessen symptoms as core strength and posture are improved over time. Activities such as swimming, walking, yoga, or Pilates are highly effective exercises due to the low strain on the back and emphasis on the core.

When non-surgical treatments and exercises have been unsuccessful, spinal cord stimulation can be an effective option for those experiencing chronic back pain, neck pain, or complex regional pain syndrome. Our interventional pain specialists can locate the root cause of your pain and find the most effective treatment and pain management plan to get you back to a pain-free, active lifestyle.

Back pain is common, but chronic, consistent back pain isn’t something you should live with. If you have been in pain for over a week, if the pain extends to other parts of the body, or if you are experiencing burning, numbness, or tingling — it’s time to get treatment.
