Back
Disc Herniation
A thoracic or lumbar disc herniation happens when an intervertebral disc ruptures or protrudes, compressing nearby nerves. This can cause back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that may radiate to the legs. Intervertebral discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, but with wear and tear they lose hydration and elasticity, becoming more prone to herniation.
Symptoms
- Localized pain
- Deep, aching pain
- Radiating pain to lower extremities
- Numbness and / or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Reduced reflexes
Causes
Degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, trauma, repetitive strain (heavy lifting, twisting), spinal abnormalities, obesity.
Treatment options
Prolotherapy, PRP, Ultrasound guided nerve blocks, Shockwaves, Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF).
Facet Disease
Thoracic / lumbar facet disease is a condition affecting the facet joints in the middle or lower back. These joints, located between the vertebrae, support stability and enable motion in the spine. Facet disease involves the degeneration or deterioration of these joints, which leads to pain and other symptoms.
Symptoms
- Localized pain
- Pain with movement
- Referred pain in the thighs and / or buttocks
- Stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Local tenderness
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle tightness
- Worsening with inactivity
- Muscle spasms
Causes
Aging, trauma (falls, accidents), arthritis, overuse or repetitive movements.
Treatment options
Prolotherapy, Mesotherapy, PRP, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Pulsed Radiofrequencies (PRF), Imaging gfuided nerve blocks.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MFPS)
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MFPS) is a chronic pain disorder caused by tension and sensitivity in the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles. It is marked by trigger points (tight knots in the muscle) that cause localized pain and can also refer discomfort to other areas. Unlike temporary muscle aches, MFPS is persistent and can significantly affect mobility, posture, and quality of life.
Symptoms
- Pain in the neck
- Headaches
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Numbness and tingling
- Muscle weakness in upper extremities
- Radiating pain into the shoulders and upper back
- Muscle spasms
Causes
Overuse, poor posture, stress, inactivity.
Treatment options
Trigger point injections, mesotherapy, pulsed radiofrequencies
