Chronic back pain is often caused by lumbar disc degeneration, a condition where the spinal discs lose their cushioning ability due to wear and tear, age, or injury. This can lead to persistent lower back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
At our spine center, we provide a comprehensive treatment approach tailored to each patient’s needs, focusing on both non-surgical and advanced surgical solutions.
Initial management includes medications to relieve pain and inflammation, along with physiotherapy and guided exercises to strengthen the spine and core muscles. These non-surgical methods help restore function and alleviate symptoms in many patients with early-stage disc degeneration.
If conservative treatment does not provide sufficient relief, we offer day-care procedures such as facet joint injections or nerve blocks. These minimally invasive injections target the inflamed joints in the spine, offering temporary to long-term pain relief and helping confirm the pain source.
When other treatments fail, surgery may be the most effective solution. Traditional spinal fusion joins two vertebrae to stop painful movement but may reduce spinal flexibility and increase stress on adjacent discs.
A superior, motion-preserving alternative is Lumbar Disc Replacement Surgery. This non-fusion technique involves replacing the degenerated disc with an artificial one, allowing natural spine movement. It offers multiple advantages: faster recovery, preserved mobility, and lower risk of adjacent segment disease. It is especially effective for younger, active individuals with single-level disc degeneration.
Our spine team specializes in advanced procedures like lumbar disc replacement, available at only a few high-end centers in India. We ensure precise diagnosis and patient-centered treatment for long-term relief from chronic back pain due to lumbar disc degeneration.
