PAIN MANAGEMENT

Back pain is one of the leading causes of chronic pain world wide. It is not just painful but is also disabling and can make day to day activities also extremely difficult. Most of the times, this pain is age related but there could be other reasons which can cause it, such as:

• Spinal Arthritis: Degeneration of cartilage in the spine
• Stenosis: Narrowing or compression of spinal cord which causes nerve pain
• Disc herniation or disc bulge
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Excess fatigue & pain in the muscles

Medication is usually the first sight of relief, however constant pain killers do more harm than good. Dr. Sreenath who is the best pain management specialist in Hyderabad ensures a complete work up is done to identify the source of the pain. Non-surgical methods are preferred before jumping into surgical approach. Few such non-surgical techniques are:

• Cortisone Injections: A powerful anti-inflammatory medicine which is injected around the spinal cord area where the root of the nerve is inflamed causing the pain.
• Radiofrequency Neurotomy: A needle is inserted to the area of pain and radio frequency waves are passed to the nerves which block the pain signals from traveling to the brain.
• Nerve Stimulators: A device is placed under the skin which sends out impulses to block signals of pain.

When none of the non-surgical methods have not worked, surgery can help at chronic back pain hospitals in Hyderabad. With advanced minimally invasive procedures, patient can recover and get back to their daily activities quickly.

• Lack of physical exercise
