What Are the Most Common Symptoms of Back Pain?

  • Diffuse pain
  • Lingering muscle ache
  • Numbness, tingling, and other similar discomforts

Back pain is a complex issue that can be associated with many different conditions. Certain symptoms might indicate a more serious affection.

Do I Need Surgery if I Suffer from Back Pain?

The idea of back surgery is extremely scary and it’s preventing a lot of people from seeking treatment for back pain. The good news is that in this day and age there are more non-surgical options for treating back pain than ever before. The good news is that surgery is rarely needed and only when other therapies prove to be ineffective. Our Harvard-trained back specialists are well-aware of the considerable risks and extensive recovery time associated with surgical treatments and they will do everything they can to help you avoid them.

What Diagnostic Tests Will a Back Pain Doctor Recommend?

The first step towards an accurate diagnosis is a physical examination. During the physical assessment, your back doctor will test your spine’s range of motion, your ability to stand and to walk, your reflexes, your strength, and your ability to detect sensation.

If the physical examination is not sufficient for providing a diagnosis, your doctor might order other tests such as a CT scan, X-rays, an Electromyography, or a blood and urine test.

What Are the Best Minimally-invasive Back Pain Treatments in NJ?

Dr. Shane Volney, Dr. George Hanna, and Dr. Laura Lombardy employ a wide variety of minimally-invasive treatments to assist chronic neck and back pain such as:

Sacroiliac Joint Injections – This effective minimally-invasive treatment is also known as SI injection and it reduces swelling and pain. It consists of injecting a local anesthetic by using a guided x-ray. This procedure is used both as a treatment and as a diagnostic tool. If your pain subsides after a sacroiliac joint injection, your doctor has found the causes of your lumbar pain.

Epidural Steroid Injections – This minimally-invasive solution is an outstanding one. If you experience lower back pain that’s localized on your right or left side, then your doctor might recommend a lumbar epidural. This treatment consists of an injection with a local anesthetic and an anti-inflammatory and provides instant pain relief. It can be used short-term and long-term depending on the situation.

Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation – If you’re suffering from lumbar facet joint arthritis or chronic back pain, your back doctor might recommend facet joint injections. During this pain management treatment, your nerves are disabled by radio waves, so the pain signals from the injured facet joint are stopped. i

Facet Joint Injections – This is another effective treatment from lower back pain and arthritis that can have excellent results. This back pain treatment consists of injecting a small amount of local anesthetic in the area surrounding the nerves of your joints.

Living with back pain can make your life difficult, can affect your career and your relationships with your loved ones.
