Options after conservative back pain treatment - Ask Mayo Clinic Health System
#BackPain #EpiduralInjections #MayoClinicHealthSystem
Millions of people struggle with back pain, impacting their daily lives and well-being. While conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication can often provide relief, sometimes more advanced options are needed.
In this video, Mayo Clinic Health System pain medicine physician Cole Cheney, M.D., discusses the role of pain medicine in managing back pain, focusing on the effectiveness of epidural injections.
Epidural injections are minimally invasive procedures that deliver medication directly to the source of pain around the spinal cord.
While epidural injections are generally safe and effective, it's essential to understand that they are not a cure for back pain. They often provide temporary relief, allowing time for other treatments and your body to heal. However, for many people, epidural injections can significantly improve quality of life and reduce pain levels.
If you've tried conservative treatments but still experience back pain, don't lose hope. Spine care at Mayo Clinic Health System offers advanced options like epidural injections to help you find relief and get back to living a pain-free life.
Dr. Cheney is a pain medicine physician at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, MN.
