What Is Back Pain?

How Is Back Pain Treated?
A common cause of lower back pain is a slipped disc, which can lead to discomfort and limited mobility. Seeking relief for a slipped disc often involves a combination of treatments. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in strengthening muscles and improving flexibility to support the spine. Medications may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation. In some cases, nerve blocks or image-guided procedures like epidural steroid or facet joint injections can provide targeted relief. Regenerative medicine, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, offers a natural healing solution by promoting tissue growth. For more severe cases, radiofrequency ablation (RF ablation) may be considered to disrupt nerve signals and alleviate pain. It is important to consult with our medical team to determine the most effective treatment plan for relieving back pain or pain associated with a slipped disc.
What Are the Symptoms of Back Pain?
Back pain can present with a variety of symptoms that can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Our team at Metro Spine Pain Centers examines these symptoms to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of back pain. Some common symptoms associated with back pain include:
- Dull, aching pain in the lower back

- Muscle spasms in the back
- Difficulty standing up straight or walking
