Understanding Spinal Pain
Symptoms vary between patients. Evaluation identifies whether pain is muscular, discogenic, or referred.
Good news: The majority of back and neck pain episodes resolve within weeks to months with appropriate care. MRI findings often don't correlate with symptoms — many "abnormalities" are normal age-related changes.
When to Seek Urgent Care
Certain symptoms need early review.
Sudden weakness in arms or legs
Severe pain following trauma
Fever with back pain
Loss of bladder or bowel control
Unexplained weight loss with pain
Progressive neurological symptoms
Conservative Care First
Conservative care is first-line. Surgery criteria apply when non-operative options are exhausted.
Activity Modification
Avoiding aggravating activities while maintaining gentle movement — prolonged bed rest is generally not recommended.
Physiotherapy
Core strengthening, posture correction, and movement retraining to address underlying mechanical issues.
Ergonomic Changes
Workstation adjustments and postural awareness for desk workers and those with sedentary jobs.
Medications
Short-term anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants when appropriate.
Injection Therapies
Targeted injections for specific conditions when conservative measures need support.
Important: Surgery is considered only when structured non-surgical care does not provide adequate relief.
