Lower Back Pain Relief in McAllen – 911 Pain Management
Common Causes of Lower Back Injury/Pain
Lower back injuries are common and may result from various causes. We offer treatment and pain management if you suffer any of the following conditions:
Lumbar Strain
Overstretching or tearing of muscles and ligaments in the lower back, often due to heavy lifting or sudden movements, causes stiffness and pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related wear and tear on spinal discs reduces cushioning, leading to chronic lower back discomfort and reduced flexibility.
Herniated Disc
When a disc between spinal bones bulges or ruptures, it can press on nerves and lead to lower back pain, numbness, or leg tingling.
Sciatica
Compression of the sciatic nerve causes sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down one leg. It’s often linked to disc issues or spinal narrowing.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Inflammation or misalignment in the joint connecting the spine to the pelvis can cause localized pain in the lower back and buttocks.
Treatment Options for Lower Back Pain Relief
Find out how we can help relieve your lower back pain through safe and effective treatment options.
Treating lower back pain with plenty of minimally invasive pain treatment, non-narcotic medications is one of the many ways to treat your lumbar pain at its source. Our pain management clinic can help you find the right medication that relieves your pain.
A lumbar epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication into the space surrounding the spinal nerves in the lower back. This treatment can help reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on irritated nerves, and ease lower back pain that may radiate into the hips, buttocks, or legs. X-ray guidance is used to ensure precise placement.
Trigger point injections are used to relax knots of muscle in the lumbar area that fail to release tension. Injections often result in an immediate alleviation of pain and may be used in several sites during the same visit.
An epidural nerve block is an injection administered by a pain management specialist to numb the nerves in the lower spine. Our pain management physician may examine this region in a patient to determine the best course of action.
