What Does a Back Pain Diagnosis Involve in Pain Management?

Back pain refers to aching, soreness, or structural problems developing along any segment along the back, from the cervical spine down through lumbar and sacral regions. From a structural standpoint, back pain is often driven from compression on spinal structures. That compression can be triggered by facet joint arthritis, muscle spasm, or nerve root irritation.

In pain management, addressing back pain requires pinpointing the exact structural cause of the pain signal. The specialists at our office apply detailed health history, neurological testing and functional outcome measures to develop an accurate diagnosis. From there, our approach is focused at the underlying driver of pain.

One thing that sets spinal pain management especially nuanced is that different tissues can contribute simultaneously. A disc bulge may irritate a nearby nerve root, while surrounding muscles tighten up in response — producing a pattern of pain and dysfunction that requires targeted intervention. Our team are trained to address all of these layers in an integrated way.
