Spine Pain Management

Advanced treatments for back and neck pain, including non-surgical and surgical options.

Neck Pain & Cervical Radiculopathy

NECK PAIN & CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY

Neck strain, disc herniation, and nerve root compression causing arm pain or numbness.

  • Mechanical neck pain
  • Cervical disc herniation
  • Nerve root compression
Seek urgent care if: Progressive arm weakness • Myelopathy signs (gait imbalance, hand clumsiness)

What is it?

Pain from cervical joints/discs or compressed nerves leads to neck stiffness and arm symptoms.

Low Back Pain & Sciatica

LOW BACK PAIN & SCIATICA

Lumbar strain, disc prolapse, and nerve irritation causing leg pain or weakness.

  • Mechanical low back pain
  • Lumbar disc herniation
  • Radiculopathy (sciatica)
Seek urgent care if: Red flags: saddle anaesthesia, bladder/bowel dysfunction (cauda equina) • Progressive leg weakness

What is it?

Common, often self-limiting, but may involve disc/nerve irritation needing targeted therapy.

Spinal Stenosis & Degenerative

SPINAL STENOSIS & DEGENERATIVE

Narrowing of the spinal canal/foramina causing neurogenic claudication and back pain.

  • Lumbar canal stenosis
  • Facet arthropathy
  • Degenerative spondylolisthesis
Seek urgent care if: New severe neurological deficits

What is it?

Age-related changes reduce space for nerves; symptoms often worsen with standing/walking.

Vertebral Compression Fractures

VERTEBRAL COMPRESSION FRACTURES

Painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures require pain control and bone health optimisation.

  • Acute/subacute wedge fractures
  • Kyphotic deformity
  • Secondary prevention planning
Seek urgent care if: Severe uncontrolled pain • Neurological deficits or trauma red flags

What is it?

Low-energy vertebral fractures lead to acute pain and height loss; risk of future fractures is high.

Injections & Interventional Care

INJECTIONS & INTERVENTIONAL CARE

Targeted procedures for pain relief and functional improvement when conservative care is insufficient.

  • Facet/medial branch blocks
  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Radiofrequency ablation (selected)
Seek urgent care if: Increasing neurological deficit • Red flag symptoms as above

What is it?

Minimally invasive options to reduce pain from inflamed joints or nerve root irritation.
