What is Back Pain?
Back pain is a common condition characterized by discomfort or stiffness in the upper, middle, or lower back region. It can range from mild to severe and may be acute (lasting less than six weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than three months).
Causes of Back Pain :
Back pain can be caused by various factors, including:
- Muscle strain or sprain
- Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Traumatic injuries, such as fractures or accidents
- Poor posture or biomechanical abnormalities
- Obesity, lack of exercise, or sedentary lifestyle
At What Age Will One Start Experiencing Back Pain?
While back pain can affect individuals of all ages, it is more common among adults, particularly those aged 30 to 60 years old. However, it can also occur in younger individuals due to factors such as sports injuries or congenital spine conditions.
Symptoms of Back Pain :
Symptoms of back pain may vary depending on the underlying cause but commonly include:
- Dull, aching, or sharp pain in the back
- Stiffness or limited range of motion
- Radiating pain that travels down the legs (sciatica)
- Muscle spasms or cramping
- Difficulty standing up straight or walking
Treatment of Back Pain:
Treatment for back pain may involve a combination of conservative measures and, in some cases, surgical intervention. Dr. Pramod Kumar Surve offers a comprehensive approach to back pain management, including:
- Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and stretches to improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
- Medications: Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate discomfort and inflammation.
- Injections: Epidural steroid injections or nerve blocks to reduce pain and inflammation in the spine.
- Surgery: For severe cases of back pain that do not respond to conservative treatments, Dr. Surve may recommend surgical procedures such as spinal fusion, laminectomy, or discectomy to address the underlying cause and alleviate symptoms.
