Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can stem from a wide variety of sources, including but not limited to:

Herniated Discs

A condition where the soft material inside a spinal disc pushes out and compresses nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

Degenerative Disc Disease

The natural wear and tear of spinal discs over time, often causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Spinal Stenosis

The narrowing of the spinal canal, which can place pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain, weakness, and numbness.

Muscle Strain

Overuse, improper posture, or sudden movements can strain muscles in the back, leading to acute pain.

Scoliosis

Abnormal curvature of the spine that can result in back pain, especially as the condition worsens.

Osteoarthritis

Degeneration of the cartilage in the spine’s joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.

At Gerling Spine Care NY, we offer comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis to identify the specific cause of your back pain, ensuring you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for your condition.

Back Pain Treatment Options in NYC

Our approach to back pain treatment in NYC is centered around finding the most effective and least invasive solution for each patient. Depending on the severity and underlying cause of your back pain, we offer a range of treatments that can help alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and restore your quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

When conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication fail, minimally invasive surgical procedures may be recommended. We specialize in advanced, minimally invasive techniques such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion, which can provide effective relief with smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is often a key component of back pain treatment. Our team works with skilled physical therapists to develop personalized rehabilitation programs to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, improve posture, and increase flexibility, which can reduce pain and prevent future injury.

Epidural Steroid Injections

For patients experiencing nerve pain or inflammation, epidural steroid injections can provide significant relief by delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area of the spine. This non-surgical treatment can help reduce pain and inflammation and allow for greater mobility.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections

PRP injections utilize the body’s own healing properties to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions like tendonitis or degenerative disc disease and can help patients recover without the need for surgery.

Regenerative Medicine

We offer cutting-edge regenerative treatments like bone marrow aspirate injections and stem cell therapy to promote healing in the spine. These therapies can help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote the regeneration of damaged tissues in the spine, providing long-lasting relief from back pain.
