Physical Therapy

Physical therapy exercises and modalities, such as stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy, can improve flexibility, strength, and function while promoting healing and preventing recurrence of back injuries.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to treating back injuries, focusing on restoring proper alignment, mobility, and function to the spine and surrounding structures. Chiropractors employ various hands-on techniques, such as spinal adjustments, mobilizations, and soft tissue therapies to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. By addressing biomechanical imbalances and dysfunctions, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pressure on injured tissues, restore proper joint function, and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Medications

Over-the-counter or prescription medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxers, and pain relievers may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation associated with back injuries.

Surgery

Back surgeries aim to address underlying structural damage that cannot be effectively treated through conservative measures. Common surgical interventions include discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and artificial disc replacement. Back surgeries are typically considered when conservative treatments have failed to provide necessary relief, and the benefits of surgery outweigh the risks.

Injections

Injections are commonly used by medical doctors as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with back injuries. These injections deliver medication directly to the affected area, targeting specific sources of pain and reducing reliance on oral medications that may have systemic side effects. Epidural steroid injections can provide relief by delivering corticosteroids and local anesthetics into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord, reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals. Facet joint injections target the small joints in the spine, providing pain relief and improving mobility by injecting a combination of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joints. Injections can offer significant pain relief.
