The pain management techniques used at Yashoda Centre for Back Pain Management include:

Non-invasive, non-drug pain management

  • Exercise: Physical Exercise with the aim of increasing strength, flexibility, and restoring normal motion. Patient-centric exercise programs are designed keeping in mind their medical condition.

  • Behavioural modification: These methods are to optimise patient’s response towards back pain and painful stimuli. The techniques used are:
    • Relaxation techniques
    • Coping techniques
    • For symptomatic improvement, learning to control
      • Muscle tension
      • Blood pressure
      • Heart rate
  • Superficial heating or cooling of skin: This method includes the use of cold packs and hot packs to help relieve lower back pain.
  • Electrotherapy: the most commonly used electrotherapy is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). A low-voltage electric stimulation interacts with the sensory nervous system to provide relief from back pain. But this treatment is not for someone who is:
    • Pregnant
    • Has a history of epilepsy or heart disease
    • Using a pacemaker

Non-invasive pharmacologic pain management

If the non-drug pain management does not provide any relief than the doctor may advise the following medication to the patient, along with physical therapy:

  • Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve),
  • Muscle relaxants
  • Topical pain relievers in the form of creams, salves or ointments
  • Narcotics: such as oxycodone or hydrocodone (Drugs containing opioids)
  • Antidepressants: Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline
  • Injections: when other medicines don’t relieve your pain, your doctor may inject cortisone — an anti-inflammatory medication. This helps in decreasing inflammation and pain

The surgery is a last resort of treatment when all the other treatments for back pain have failed. However, if you have unrelenting pain that is associated with radiating leg pain or progressive muscle weakness caused due to nerve compression.
