Back Pain

Back pain affects millions annually, ranging from acute muscular strain to chronic degenerative conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis. This category covers evidence-supported treatment protocols including NSAIDs, physical therapy regimens, epidural corticosteroid injections, and surgical interventions for refractory cases. We also address red-flag symptoms requiring urgent imaging, ergonomic modifications, core-strengthening exercises, and pharmacological safety considerations. Content is structured to help patients understand diagnosis, weigh therapeutic options alongside their clinicians, and adopt long-term preventive strategies that reduce recurrence risk.
