LOWER BACK PAIN
🦴 Low Back Pain: Reclaiming Your Active Life
Expert Spinal Care by Dr. A. Mohan Krishna
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor. While it can be incredibly uncomfortable, the good news is that most back pain is not permanent and can be treated effectively without surgery. 🚶♂️✨
🔍 What is Causing Your Back Pain?
Back pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation. Common causes include:
Muscle Strains: Often from lifting heavy objects incorrectly or sudden awkward movements. 🏋️♂️💥
Disc Herniation: When the soft “jelly” inside a spinal disc pushes out and irritates nearby nerves. ⚡
Degeneration: Wear-and-tear of the spinal joints (Spondylosis) as we age. ⏳
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, which can cause leg pain or numbness. 📉
⚠️ Common Symptoms
Localized Pain: A constant ache in the lower back or hips. 😫
Sciatica: Sharp pain that “shoots” down one leg, often reaching the foot. ⚡🦵
Stiffness: Difficulty standing up straight or bending over. 🧱
Weakness or Numbness: A “pins and needles” feeling in your legs or feet. 🦶
🩺 How Dr. A. Mohan Krishna Helps You
Our goal is to get you moving again with the least invasive treatment possible.
1. Expert Diagnosis 📸 Dr. Mohan Krishna will perform a physical exam to check your muscle strength and reflexes. We use Digital X-rays to check bone alignment and MRI scans to get a detailed look at your discs and nerves.
2. Non-Surgical Treatment (The First Line of Care) 💊
Activity Modification: Learning how to move and lift safely to avoid further strain. 🛑
Physical Therapy: Specialized exercises to strengthen your “core” muscles, which support your spine. 🏋️♂️
Medication: Anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants to reduce pain and swelling. 💊
Ice & Heat: Using cold packs for new injuries and heat for chronic stiffness. ❄️🔥
3. Advanced & Surgical Options 🏥 If the pain is severe or involves nerve damage that doesn’t improve with therapy, Dr. Mohan Krishna may discuss:
Epidural Steroid Injections: To calm inflamed nerves directly. 💉
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Such as a microdiscectomy to remove a portion of a herniated disc and relieve pressure. 🛠️✨
