Low Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, affecting millions each year. It can range from a mild, occasional ache to severe, persistent discomfort that interferes with daily activities. The lower back, or lumbar region, supports much of the body’s weight and is vital for movement, making it prone to injury and strain. Understanding the causes of lower back pain is the first step toward finding effective relief and improving quality of life.
Common Causes of Lower Back Pain:
- Lumbar Disc Herniation
- Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease
- Lumbar Facet Joint Disease
- Lumbar Myofascial Pain
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Sacroiliac Joint Pain
- Sciatica
Neck Pain
Neck pain is a widespread issue that can impact people of all ages, often affecting daily activities and overall comfort. The neck, or cervical spine, supports the weight of the head while allowing for its range of motion, making it susceptible to strain and injury. Neck pain can vary from a minor stiffness to sharp, debilitating discomfort. Identifying the causes of neck pain is essential for finding the right treatment and restoring mobility and ease.
Patient symptoms, physical examination, and appropriate imaging all help to differentiate the cause of your neck pain. Epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and trigger point injections can all be used in the appropriate situations to treat your pain.
Common Causes of Neck Pain:
- Cervical Disc Herniation
- Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease
- Cervical Facet Joint Disease
- Cervical Myofascial Pain
- Cervical Spinal Stenosis
Joint Pain
Joint pain is a common complaint that can affect people of all ages, often limiting mobility and interfering with daily life. Joints are essential for movement and bear the body’s weight, making them vulnerable to wear and tear, inflammation, and injury. Joint pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, persistent aches. Understanding the underlying causes of joint pain is key to finding effective treatments and improving overall function and quality of life.
Common Causes of Joint Pain:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Pain after Joint Replacement
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) refers to persistent or worsening pain following spinal surgery, despite the procedure’s intent to relieve discomfort. This condition can occur for various reasons, including incomplete nerve decompression, scar tissue formation, or adjacent segment degeneration. FBSS can significantly impact daily life, leading to frustration and limited mobility. Understanding the potential causes and treatment options is crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life after surgery.
Vertebral Compression Fracture
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic condition characterized by intense, persistent pain that typically develops after an injury or surgery. It often affects an arm or leg and is accompanied by symptoms such as swelling, changes in skin color or temperature, and sensitivity to touch. The exact cause of CRPS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve abnormal nerve signaling and inflammatory responses. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes that affects the nerves, primarily in the feet and legs. It causes symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning pain, and loss of sensation, which can lead to balance issues and an increased risk of injuries. High blood sugar levels over time can damage nerves, making early detection and management critical. Proper treatment can help alleviate symptoms, prevent further damage, and improve overall quality of life.
