What is Back Pain? Overview
Suffering from back pain? You’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. Back pain is a symptom rather than disease. It is a physical discomfort occurring anywhere on the spine or back, ranging from mild to disabling.
Doctor finds out the cause of back pain and treats accordingly. Back pain is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
Causes of the back pain
There are many causes of back pain. Long standing degeneration (wearing away) of the vertebrae and the intervertebral disc is the primary cause behind this disorder. Back pain can be caused by various factors, including:
Muscle or ligament strain: Overuse, improper lifting, or sudden movements can strain muscles and ligaments.- Herniated or ruptured discs: Discs that act as cushions between the vertebrae can become damaged and press on nerves.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can lead to narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, causing pain.
- Osteoporosis: Weak, brittle bones can lead to fractures in the spine.
- Poor posture: Sitting or standing improperly can contribute to muscle tension and pain.
- Occupational trauma: Lifting heavy loads on head, gymnastics, working on the computer for long hours.
Symptoms of back pain
The symptoms of back pain can vary depending on the cause and severity. Common symptoms include:
Persistent aching or stiffness along the spine.- Sharp, localized pain in the lower back, especially after lifting heavy objects.
- Pain that radiates from the back to the buttocks, legs, or feet.
- Difficulty standing up straight without experiencing pain.
- Limited range of motion and flexibility.

Painkillers are often helpful. Pain killer as well as anti-inflammatory medicine can help you to move your back for exercise. As well as it helps to reduce an inflammation in back. Pain killer has a good role in early stages back pain.
In advance stages pain killers are not much useful. Also, in long run pain killers can have an adverse effect on Kidney, liver and other major organs. So, you should not take pain killers by your own, consult your doctor for this.
2
Exercise & Physiotherapy
Some back exercises are very helpful in early stage of back pain and to maintain a muscle strength and tone for long term. Tailored exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
3
Spinal Block/Injections
Advancements in medical science have made back pain treatment less invasive, with minimally invasive options now widely available in India, keeping pace with global standards. If exercises and medications aren’t effective, your doctor might suggest spinal blocks or injections. These minimally invasive procedures use tiny needles to block pain pathways, providing relief without the need for surgery.
At LiveWell Pain & Spine Hospital, we routinely perform these procedures, offering expert, quick treatments that can make a significant difference in patients’ lives. Most back pain interventions are day-care procedures, allowing patients to return home the same day, with pain relief typically beginning within a week.
We have treated patients with back pain from Kenya, Tanzania, Africa, UK, USA, Russia and many more countries.
Patients come from across the country for best hospital for back pain treatment. Apart from many patients from Gujarat, we have patients with sciatica from across India like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Goa, Bangalore, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and many states from India.

Facet Joint Block
When back pain originates from the facet joints (located in each side of the vertebrae), a specific type of injection called a facet joint injection may reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. Doctors use live X ray to ensure the needle is correctly placed before the medicines are injected.
5
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
It is a minimally invasive procedure to reduce nerve pain. If facet joint injection successful and pain comes back within a short period of time you might get benefits from a radio frequency ablation of medial branch. Radio frequency ablation is a specialized procedure which causes a thermal lesion on the medial branch. This procedure can give a long-term pain relief.
6
Transforaminal Block
During transforaminal block, medications are injected into the foraminal space which is also called an epidural space. Epidural space is the area between the spinal sac and spinal canal, which runs the length of the canal. As the medicine is injected into the epidural space it coats the nerve roots and outside lining of the facet joints.
Transforaminal Block is given under local anesthesia. It is given under live X-ray (C arm) guidance. Here we numb a part of the back and insert a thin needle inside. The needle is guided with the help of a Live X-ray Machine.
