Lower Back Pain Q&A

What causes lower back pain?

Acute lower back pain that lasts for six weeks or less can result from overuse of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the lumbar (lower) spine. Persistent pain in the lower back can point to a spinal injury, degenerative disease, or another chronic condition.

Sciatica
Scoliosis
Radiculopathy
Herniated disc
Spinal stenosis
Stress fractures
Spondylolisthesis
Degenerative disc disease

Dr. Mohan and the pain management specialists use advanced, nonsurgical therapies to treat the cause of persistent lower back pain and prevent it from worsening. They focus on the least invasive therapy to support your recovery and offer rehabilitative services to protect the integrity of your spine.

When should I seek medical care for lower back pain?

Occasional aches and pains in the lower back are often manageable with rest, heat therapy, and over-the-counter medicines. If you have lower back pain that lasts more than six weeks or you have severe back pain or pain that doesn’t respond to home care, schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Pain Specialists of Frisco.

Numbness

Loss of range of motion in the lower back
