Non-Surgical Treatment for Low-Back Pain

Share |

With a variety of treatments available now for low back pain relief, most people prefer non-surgical treatment methods.

(I-Newswire) November 18, 2009 - Non-surgical treatment, usually referred to as the ‘conservative treatment,’ includes heat, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, electrical nerve stimulation, spinal bracing, chiropractic care, epidural steroid injection, tissue mobilization and therapeutic spinal traction.

Low back pain is usually caused by degenerative disc, excessive stress to the back, arthritis of the spine, minimal movement, malpositioning of vertebrae and by problems in ligaments and tendons in and around the spine, spinal cord infection, Piriformis syndrome and other spinal conditions. Low back pain symptoms vary in different people depending on whether the pain is acute or chronic. X-rays and MRI scans are used for determining the source of low back pain.

Low back pain can be completely cured either with non-surgical treatment methods or through surgery. With limited success in eliminating disc problems completely, back surgery is opted only when the non-surgical methods become ineffective. Patients suffering from low back pain can get the same benefits as those obtained from surgery with non-surgical treatment methods.

Physical therapy is one of the most popular non-surgical treatment methods for low back pain. The non-surgical treatment methods are very effective even for chronic low back pain. The conservative methods make use of manually or mechanically created forces to stretch spinal muscles to alleviate back pain. With the advancement of technology, a new treatment technique called non-surgical spinal decompression (NSSD) has emerged. It has proven to be one of the most effective methods in low back pain treatment and is widely used all over the world. Drugs such as Opioids and Narcotics are used to treat acute back pain. For chronic low back pains, NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are used.

With the latest advancements in the medical field, complete low back pain relief is possible for most patients. Mild symptoms of back pain should not be ignored and the right treatment should be taken. The best way to prevent back pain is to take care in maintaining a steady posture at all time.
