Aster Whitefield Hospital is committed to, addressing a spectrum of neck and back pain conditions with a holistic approach. Our program prioritizes non-surgical interventions whenever feasible, focusing on pain management, rehabilitation, and enhancing mobility.
Understanding Back Pain:
Back pain is a prevalent complaint with various causes, including mechanical factors like muscle strain and poor posture, as well as specific conditions such as herniated discs and osteoporosis. Persistent or severe pain warrants medical evaluation to rule out serious underlying conditions.
Non-surgical Treatments:
Medications: Patient-specific medication regimens are employed to alleviate discomfort, utilizing pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs to target specific facets of neck and back pain.
Physical Therapy: Central to our approach, physical therapy aims to strengthen spinal support muscles, enhance flexibility, and correct posture to prevent future issues. Personalized exercise programs, alongside manual therapies like massage, foster improved blood circulation and pain relief.
Injections: Corticosteroid injections offer targeted relief by delivering potent anti-inflammatory medication directly to inflamed areas around the spine, providing rapid and effective pain management.
Surgical Intervention:
Should conservative methods prove insufficient, our expert spine surgeons specialize in minimally invasive procedures. These techniques offer smaller incisions, quicker recovery times, and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional surgeries. Aster Whitefield Hospital offers a range of minimally invasive procedures to address various spinal conditions causing neck and back pain.
