Back Pain Q & A

What causes back pain?

Back pain is one of the most common medical problems and can result from many different causes, including:

Muscle strain
Bulging or herniated discs
Arthritis
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis (narrowed spinal canal)
Lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica)
Neuropathy (nerve damage or dysfunction)
Vertebral compression fractures
Cancer

Sometimes, even poor posture or repetitive movements can lead to chronic discomfort. The Midwest Innovative Pain Management team identifies the exact source of your pain and creates a personalized treatment plan to help you move and live comfortably again.

How is back pain diagnosed?

The Midwest Innovative Pain Management team starts by listening to your story, including when your pain began, how it feels, and what makes it better or worse. They use advanced diagnostic techniques and a thorough physical evaluation to determine whether your pain is muscular, joint-related, or nerve-based.

Once they understand the underlying cause, they develop a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs, goals, and lifestyle.

What treatment options are available for back pain?

Midwest Innovative Pain Management offers a range of nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent future flare-ups. Your care plan may include any of the following:

Medications

Your provider may recommend or prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or nerve pain agents to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension. These can help you regain comfort and mobility while supporting other treatments.

Trigger point injections

For muscle-related back pain, trigger point injections deliver medication directly into tight or painful muscle areas. This helps release tension, improve blood flow, and restore range of motion.

Epidural steroid injections

If your pain is caused by an inflamed or pinched nerve from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, epidural steroid injections can reduce swelling and provide longer-term relief.

Facet joint injections and medial branch blocks

These procedures target the small facet joints in your vertebrae. By calming inflammation and blocking pain signals, they can significantly reduce back and neck pain.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

For patients who experience temporary relief from nerve block injections, RFA offers a longer-lasting solution. It gently disrupts the nerves that transmit pain signals to your brain.

Minimally invasive lumbar decompression (mild®)

For patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, the mild procedure removes small pieces of excess tissue pressing on the spinal nerves. It relieves pressure without major surgery.
