Diagnosing Back Pain
Diagnosing back pain involves several methods
- Understanding your medical history
- A physical exam. Doctors will ask about pain location, intensity, and activities that trigger it. The physical exam assesses movement, reflexes, and muscle strength.
- Imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs may be used if there’s concern about fractures, disc issues, or nerve problems.
- Blood tests can rule out underlying conditions. By combining this information, doctors pinpoint the pain source and create a treatment plan.
Lower Back Pain Treatment
Lower back pain is an especially common type of back pain in Dubai. Muscle strain from improper lifting or overuse is a frequent cause, as well as everyday activities with poor posture. More serious reasons of lower back pain that may need investigating could be due to wear and tear. degenerative disc disease (DDD), where spinal cushions wear down, can irritate nerves. Sciatica, a sharp pain radiating down the leg, occurs when a herniated disc pinches a nerve. Osteoarthritis, the breakdown of joint cartilage, can stiffen the lower back.
Back Treatment Options in Dubai
There are a number of back pain treatment options at Emirates Hospitals Group ranging from conservative medical management to advanced minimally invasive techniques. Options include:
Conservative Treatments
The focus with these techniques is managing pain and promoting healing.
- Rest and Activity Modification: This involves reducing strenuous activities that aggravate pain, allowing your body time to heal. It doesn’t mean complete inactivity, but finding low-impact exercises like walking or swimming.
- Heat and Ice Therapy: Applying heat (heating pad, warm compress) relaxes muscles and improves blood flow, while ice (ice pack) reduces inflammation and pain, especially for acute injuries.
- Pain Medication: Over-the-counter medications can help manage pain and inflammation. Stronger medications might be prescribed by a doctor in some cases.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
The target here is to treat specific pain sources.
- Physical Therapy: A customized program of exercises strengthens core muscles, improves flexibility, and teaches proper posture to support your spine and reduce pain.
- Injections: Corticosteroid injections can be administered near inflamed nerves or joints to provide localized pain relief. Other injections like trigger point injections target specific muscle knots to ease tension.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): This minimally invasive procedure uses heat generated by radio waves to target and disable pain-transmitting nerves, providing long-term pain relief.
