Back Pain Q&A

What causes back pain?

Back pain can develop suddenly after an injury or gradually due to long-term wear and tear on the spine. Acute pain often results from strained muscles, tendons, or ligaments, while chronic pain is typically linked to structural or degenerative conditions that worsen over time.

Common causes of back pain include:

Muscle or ligament strain
Herniated or bulging discs
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Degenerative disc disease
Arthritis or joint inflammation
Sciatica (nerve compression)
Poor posture or repetitive movements

Back pain may also result from lifestyle factors, such as prolonged sitting, lack of core strength, or improper lifting techniques. In some cases, underlying conditions like osteoporosis or scoliosis can contribute to persistent discomfort. Regardless of the cause, Dr. Mohan and his team focus on identifying the root of the pain to create an effective, personalized treatment plan that supports lasting recovery.

What are the symptoms of back pain?

Back pain can vary from a dull ache to sharp, shooting sensations that radiate into the hips, legs, or shoulders. You may also experience:

Muscle tightness or spasms
Limited range of motion
Numbness or tingling in the extremities
Pain that worsens with movement, standing, or sitting

If your pain persists for more than six weeks, interferes with your daily activities, or develops after an injury, you should schedule a diagnostic evaluation as soon as possible.

How is back pain diagnosed and treated?

During your visit, Dr. Mohan performs a detailed physical examination and may order imaging tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, to assess your spinal structures. Based on the results, the team develops a customized care plan designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve spinal stability.

Treatment options at Pain Specialists of Frisco may include:

Anti-inflammatory or pain-relief medications
Corticosteroid injections for inflammation reduction
Nerve blocks or radiofrequency ablation for targeted pain control
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Regenexx® stem cell therapy for tissue repair
Physical therapy and guided exercise to improve posture and strengthen the back

Dr. Mohan emphasizes conservative, nonsurgical solutions whenever possible, helping patients return to pain-free movement, maintain spinal health, and enjoy long-term comfort.
