Non-Surgical Treatments
First-line pain management
Surgery is rarely the first step. Many patients find significant, lasting relief through targeted physiotherapy, pain management medication, and guided spinal injections that reduce inflammation around compressed nerves.
When to See a Specialist
If your back pain persists for more than a few weeks, radiates down your legs, or is accompanied by numbness, it is essential to consult a spinal surgeon or orthopaedic specialist for a comprehensive MRI or X-ray assessment.
