Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It can range from a mild, dull ache to severe, debilitating discomfort. The spine, a complex structure of bones, discs, and nerves, is susceptible to various issues that can cause back pain.

Causes of Back Pain

Several factors can contribute to back pain, including:- 

  • Herniated or Bulging Discs: When the soft inner portion of the spinal disc protrudes, it can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain.- 
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves.- 
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear on the spinal discs, leading to pain and stiffness.- 
  • Muscle Strains or Sprains: Overuse, improper lifting, or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine.- 
  • Osteoarthritis: Breakdown of cartilage between joints, leading to inflammation and pain.

Diagnosing Back Pain

If you experience persistent or severe back pain, it's essential to consult an experienced spine surgeon like Dr. Sayuj Krishnan in Hyderabad. Advanced diagnostic techniques used include:- 

  • Physical Examination: Assessment of posture, range of motion, and areas of tenderness or discomfort.- 
  • Imaging Tests:  X-rays, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or  CT (Computed Tomography) scans to visualize the spine's structure and identify any abnormalities.

Treatment Options for Back Pain

The treatment approach depends on the underlying cause and severity of your back pain. 

Options may include:- 

  • Conservative Treatment: Medications, physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.- 
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: Epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, or discectomy (disc removal).- 
  • Spine Surgery: Dr. Krishnan specializes in advanced surgical techniques, such as spinal fusion, disc replacement, and decompression surgeries, using minimally invasive approaches whenever possible.
