Spine Pain Treatment in Mumbai

What is spine pain?

Spine pain refers to pain arising from the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back) or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. It can come from the discs, the small facet joints, the nerves, or the surrounding muscles and ligaments. Most spine pain is mechanical and improves with the right treatment — surgery is needed only in a small number of cases.

How is spine pain treated without surgery?

At Pain Clinic of India, spine pain is treated with image-guided interventional procedures matched to the exact source of pain — for example epidural steroid injections for nerve-related pain, facet joint injections and radiofrequency ablation for joint pain, and nucleoplasty for contained disc bulges. These are day-care procedures performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

When should you see a spine pain specialist?

See a specialist if spine pain lasts more than a few weeks, radiates into an arm or leg, or is associated with numbness or weakness. Early assessment helps target treatment and often avoids surgery.
