Back and Spine Pain
What is “Back and Spine Pain”? This refers to pain in the lower area of the back which often is caused by the bones and muscles of the back. When there is arthritis and degeneration of the bone and joints this can lead to low back pain. The muscles around these joints will often go into spasm and become rigid in order to help protect the bone and joints.
Whenever possible, conservative treatment options are always considered before surgery. At Texas Spine and Neurosurgery, we coordinate with high quality local providers and we help to oversee and coordinate care, including but not limited to pain management, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory therapy, bracing, massage therapy, chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, and pool therapy. Above all, our philosophy allows and encourages patients to try the least invasive treatment before progressing to more invasive therapies.
At Texas Spine & Neurosurgery, we specialize in the treatment of disorders of the spine and peripheral nerves, but our primary goal is to help stop the suffering associated with these disorders.
