Even the safest surgeries have risks, which is why doctors advise trying non-surgical options first. At our clinic for back pain treatment in Orange Park, FL, we often recommend the following approaches.

 

Physical Therapy

Few things are more effective for easing and preventing back pain than a customized exercise and stretching routine. By working with a physical therapist, you can retrain your posture, strengthen your core, and increase your flexibility to resolve many types of back issues. Since every person is different, it’s important to work with a professional who can create a plan that’s tailored for your pain management challenges and goals.

 

Injection-Based Treatments

If physical therapy isn’t enough on its own, you may benefit from injection-based back pain treatments like nerve blocks and epidural steroids. These methods can stop or reduce pain for some time, but they usually aren’t permanent solutions. It’s best to use them in combination with other methods.

 

Alternative Pain Management

Some people find that lesser-known back pain treatments are effective for them, such as biofeedback therapy or electrical nerve stimulation. Our team would be happy to educate you about the many options available and make a recommendation based on your specific case.
