Lumbago

Lumbago is a general term for lower back pain, one of the most prevalent pain conditions worldwide. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation that leaves the person unable to move. The pain may begin abruptly after lifting something heavy or develop slowly over time. Lumbago can result from a variety of causes including muscle or ligament strain, disc degeneration or herniation, facet joint dysfunction, spinal stenosis, or sacroiliac joint problems. Risk factors include sedentary lifestyle, improper lifting techniques, excess weight, and age-related changes. Our board-certified physicians at Spinal Interventions perform a thorough evaluation to identify the specific source of lower back pain and develop individualized treatment plans using imaging-guided injections, radiofrequency ablation, medication management, and other minimally invasive techniques.
