Back Pain Information

  • What is Pain Management?

    • Pain management/pain medicine entails many disciplines of study on pain, evaluation, prevention measures, diagnosis and treatment as well as rehabilitation of painful disorders. The techniques employed are used to identify the source of patient’s back pain. Also, they used as an alternative to surgery to help determine the areas to be addressed surgically and help rehabilitate the patient after surgery.

      Pain Management for Chronic back pain falls into three categories; monotherapies, interventional procedures and multidisciplinary therapy. Below is the detailed information on these categories.

  • Pain Management Categories for Chronic Back Pain

    • Monotherapies - Monotherapies by definition are prescriptions that might be given by a practitioner as a sole treatment. Some of the prescriptions are simultaneously used while other such as Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed for a short term benefit. However, there is no solid evidence that prove their long-term use in the treatment of chronic back pain. Some drugs such as willow bark have been known to have a superior effect in the treatment of relapses of recurrent chronic back pain.

      Other such as Opioids are more effective as compared to naproxen in relieving chronic back pain, but the effect is little. Antidepressants, on the other hand, are slightly more effective in relieving chronic back pain, but they provide only partial relief. More and more procedures have continued to come up including acupuncture, traction, injections into trigger points, magnet therapy, and hydrotherapy, as well as sham treatment.

      Massage is the newcomer treatment method for chronic back pain. Research show that it is more effective than sham therapy, acupuncture, remedial exercises and muscle relaxation. Exercise therapy is also more effective in severe chronic back pain.

      Well, if chronic back pain becomes more severe, surgery may be the best option for more than 60% of the people who have had surgery due to chronic back pain indicating that they felt “much better” after the surgery, compared to 30% of patients treated with physical therapy.

  • Multidisciplinary Therapy

    • The multidisciplinary therapy comprises of various combinations of exercises, behavioral and education therapy. A unique feature of these programs is that they address physical disabilities and patients’ beliefs about pain and behavior of the patient.

      There is strong evidence that intensive multidisciplinary therapy and functional restoration helps improve the functionality of the body and reduce chronic back pain compares with other non-multidisciplinary rehabilitation or usual care. However, remember the best result can only be seen after intensive rehabilitation which takes into account intensive exercises.

  • Interventional Procedures

    • Interventional procedures have made the most progress over the past decade and may provide long term pain relief. These may include epidural steroid injections, facet/medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulator implants and trigger point injections.

      New procedures may include stem cell therapy for back pain or platelet rich plasma therapy.
