Low Back Pain Management | Physical Therapy, Minimally Invasive & Surgical Options

Dr Terrence McNamaraLow back pain is more than a physical discomfort; it can impact daily activities, work, and overall quality of life. At Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates, we understand the frustration and limitations it can cause. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering a comprehensive approach to low back pain management, one that prioritizes healing, empowerment, and a return to the life you love.

Beyond Just a Band-Aid: Understanding Your Pain

Low back pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. It can have a multitude of causes, from muscle strains and disc issues to nerve compression and degenerative conditions. Our team of experienced orthopedic specialists and pain management experts takes the time to understand your unique situation. Through thorough examinations, advanced imaging, and open communication, we get to the root of your pain, crafting a personalized treatment plan that’s right for you.

More Than Just Medicine: A Spectrum of Solutions

Our approach to low back pain management extends beyond temporary relief. We believe in a holistic strategy that addresses the root causes, empowers individuals with knowledge, and fosters long-term well-being. From assessment to personalized treatment plans, our orthopedic specialists prioritize collaboration, compassion, and evidence-based practices.

We believe in holistic care, offering a diverse range of options to address your pain:

  • Non-invasive therapies: Physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage can work wonders in alleviating muscle tension, improving flexibility, and restoring proper spinal alignment.
  • Minimally invasive procedures: For targeted pain relief, we may employ techniques like nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections, offering quicker recovery times and less intrusive intervention or used when other treatments have failed.
  • Surgical options: When conservative methods aren’t enough, our skilled surgeons perform a variety of advanced procedures, from spinal decompression to fusion, with minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.

Empowering You Through Knowledge and Support

No matter your treatment path, our expert team will equip you with the knowledge and support you need to actively participate in your recovery. No two cases of low back pain are alike, and we understand the importance of collaboration in decision-making.
