How is low back pain diagnosed?
To diagnose low back pain, Dr. Mader performs an extensive evaluation and examination to understand the cause of your pain. He checks your muscles, nerves, joints, and discs to determine where your pain is coming from and if it involves any other structures.
The evaluation may also include X-rays or MRIs if needed. Dr. Mader thoroughly explains your diagnosis and helps you to make informed choices about your care.
How is low back pain treated?
Uncomplicated low back pain is treated at United Spine and Joint Center with a conservative approach involving exercise-based physical therapy and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications if needed.
For more severe conditions, like extensive arthritis or disc degeneration, options include facet injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation. Dr. Mader performs all advanced treatments with fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray imaging which enables him to administer injections at the precise location of your pain.
