Mid Back Pain Sufferers May Find Relief at Laser Spine Institute
Mid back pain is not as common as lower back pain and neck pain, but pain in the middle back can be just as debilitating when it comes on. Fortunately, middle back pain is most often caused by muscle strain, which generally heals nicely on its own without too much intervention if the needed rest is allowed. However, it is possible that the mid-back pain you are experiencing is the result of something more serious, like a ruptured disc or degenerative disc disease. Those conditions are more common in the neck and lower back where more bending and twisting occurs, but the middle back can experience these issues occasionally, too.
If your pain is moderate or worse, and/or it isn’t decreasing, you should probably visit the doctor. Your doctors can diagnose your condition and determine the best treatment plan for you. In the beginning it will likely include some conservative treatments like special exercises, stretching, hot and cold compresses and over-the-counter medicines. If this doesn’t ease your pain, your doctor may recommend physical therapy, prescription medications, spinal steroid injections or even surgery. If surgery is suggested for your mid back pain, you’ll want to consider treatment at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). We perform procedures for a variety of back conditions, and each procedure is conducted using endoscopic techniques. That means our procedures cause less trauma to the body than traditional in-patient surgeries, and generally result in fewer complications and a shorter recovery time.
If this sounds like the type of mid back pain treatment you’ve been looking for, contact LSI today. We’ll review your MRI and CT scan for free to determine if you’re a good candidate for our procedures.
