The back may look like a smooth surface, but underneath it's incredibly complex. In addition to the spine and the nerves it contains, the back contains muscles, ligaments and tendons, and any of these can contribute to pain. The good news is, most causes of back pain can be treated without surgery by using conservative and minimally-invasive approaches. One approach is injection therapy, which relieves painful symptoms as well as the underlying inflammation that can cause pain and other symptoms. Some common causes of back pain include:
Back pain diagnosis starts with a review of the patient's symptoms and a physical examination with passive and active motions to determine which movements cause painful symptoms. Diagnostic imaging using X-rays or MRIs can also help. Some types of pain can be diagnosed using facet joint injections, which administer pain-blocking medications into the spine joints to pinpoint the source of painful symptoms.
