Back Pain & Injuries

Back pain is the second most common nerve problem in the United States, after headaches. It is also the most common cause of job-related disability, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). In fact, 80% of adults will experience back pain at some time in their life.

Back and spine pain can be caused by a range of conditions, such as spinal stenosis, arthritis, sciatica, injury, facet joint disorders, disc problems, and more.

Back Pain Symptoms & Treatment

Nonsurgical Treatments

Common symptoms of back pain include stiffness, tenderness, and muscle spasms. Our back and spine specialists will assess your pain and put together a treatment plan just for you.

Many times, effective therapies can be used to relieve pain, including aquatic therapy and physical therapy. Other options include specialized steroid or epidural injections, nerve blocks, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty for compression fractures, minimally invasive spinal surgery, microdiscectomy, or cervical and lumbar fusions. Patients needing specialized injections and other non-surgical procedures receive care at Hibbeln Surgery Center in Avon. Call (317) 718-4676 to learn more or schedule.
