Pain Management Works to Lessen Back Pain Without Medications or Surgery

Doctor Uses Latest Technology for Fast and Lasting Pain Relief

Back pain is a difficult condition to live with day in and day out but learning some pain management techniques can help get a person back to a normal lifestyle. Pain management may include physical therapy, surgery or oral medications prescribed by a doctor. When a person seeks help for back pain, they often visit a chiropractor. A chiropractor can help identify the cause of the back pain and recommend the best course of action for pain management.

Usually the first line of pain management is over the counter pain medicine. People suffering severe or chronic pain are often prescribed a stronger pain reliever. Standard pain management treatment also includes an anti-inflammatory drug or NSAIDs. These are non-steroidal drugs used to reduce some of the swelling that may be causing the pain. Spinal stenosis condition can cause swelling along the spinal canal which puts pressure on nerve endings. The pressure translates to pain, tingling, weakness or in some severe cases, paralysis. The NSAIDs also reduce the extreme sensitivity of the nerve endings being pressed upon.

Muscle relaxants are another common prescription medicine used for pain management. The drugs work to reduce muscle spasms that can cause back pain. Muscle spasms are typically a symptom of an injured or strained muscle. The muscle spasm puts pressure on the nerve endings surrounding the spinal canal, resulting in pain. Lumbar back strains will often cause the muscle to spasm and put pressure on the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve extends down into the legs. When the sciatic nerve is pressured, a person may have difficulty walking, standing or even sitting.

Physical therapy is often recommended at the first signs of spinal stenosis. Therapy is an effective pain management method that does not involve the use of drugs or an invasive medical procedure. A physical therapist will work with a person to identify what positions exacerbate the pain. The therapist will provide instructions on how to sit, stand, bend or complete any activity that brings on the pain. The therapist will provide a list of exercises designed to strengthen the muscles in the back. Stronger, more flexible muscles are needed to achieve successful pain management.
