Trusted Back Pain Relief

For those in Conroe & The Woodlands, TX

We all have felt some form of pain in our back before, but suffering from back pain routinely is not only painful but bothersome. If you are someone that has been routinely suffering from back pain, let our trusted team at Pain Resources provide you with back pain relief. We proudly provide pain management services for patients throughout The Woodlands and Conroe, TX areas.

Firstly, we need to assess what type of back pain you are experiencing. There are more kinds than most people would recognize. Here are popular types of back pain and how we treat you for back pain relief:

Low back problems (acute and chronic)

Back pain is the most common problem that brings people into the doctor's office. It's not always possible to know what causes back pain, especially if it isn't related to a recent injury. Spinal conditions may cause back pain as well as muscle sprains and strains. At Pain Resources, we'll help you find the treatment options that are best for you.

Post-laminectomy syndrome/failed back surgery syndrome

The failure of traditional back surgery can be a huge disappointment. Failed back surgery syndrome has many causes. If your surgery didn't relieve the problem or you experience continuous pain after the surgery, you don't have to live with the chronic pain. Our experts can develop a back pain relief plan utilizing the latest technology and therapies for pain control to help you regain mobility and enjoy being active again.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) / Complex Regional Pain Syndrome-Type 1 & 2 (CPRS)

While there are many theories behind the causes of these chronic conditions, the exact mechanism of how RSD develops is poorly understood. The symptoms are wide and vary from spreading pain and burning to swelling or increased sensitivity. We can help you better understand the diagnosis, focusing on treatment and education to get relief and eliminate the chronic pain in your life.

Vertebral compression fractures

Fractures occur when a bone cannot withstand the outside forces applied to the bone. The spinal compression fracture may range from mild to severe in terms of severity. A mild compression fracture causes minimal pain and minimal deformity. A severe compression fracture may involve the spinal cord or nerve roots and may cause severe pain. Pain management for compression fractures can be simple or complex depending on the cause of the pain. Our physicians will work with you to design an effective pain management treatment plan.

Shingles/herpes zoster/postherpetic neuralgia

Shingles can affect people of all ages. Shingles is a painful rash caused by the herpes zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Pain from shingles can be mild or severe and usually has a sharp stabbing or burning quality. Is the pain severe enough to interfere with your daily activities and sleep? Have your symptoms persisted long after shingles have resolved? We can discuss a variety of pain management and treatment options.

Lumbar Disc Herniation

The discs in your spine serve as the shock absorbers or cushions to minimize the impact of movement of your spine. These discs can break down over time. If a disc is ruptured or herniated, it can press directly on the spinal cord and adjacent nerve tissues, resulting in pain that radiates outward from the spine. Pain that runs down the leg is referred to as sciatic pain. Our doctors can diagnose the severity of your pain and recommend a back pain relief treatment to help eliminate it.

Sciatica

Injury to the sciatic nerve frequently causes pain that runs down the outer thigh or down the back of the leg and is referred to as sciatica. The nerve can be compressed by a disk or bone spur resulting in either sharp intense pain or tingling or numbness in their legs. With this chronic pain condition, you have to deal with daily pain resulting in the lack of mobility. There are a number of new treatments that offer real hope for those with sciatica. There are non-surgical options like physical therapy, exercise, or hot/cold packs. Call us to learn more about sciatica treatment.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

The sacroiliac joint is formed where your pelvis meets your sacrum. The sacroiliac joint serves as a shock absorber for the spine. This joint can become inflamed and result in pain located in the back and, when severe, can radiate into the leg.

Myofascial pain syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic form of muscle pain. The pain centers around sensitive points in your muscles, called trigger points. The trigger points can be painful when touched and can spread throughout the affected muscle. Myofascial pain caused by trigger points has been linked to many types of pain, including headaches, neck pain, low back pain, and arm and leg pain. Treatment for myofascial pain syndrome can bring relief in many cases. Treatment options include physical therapy and/or trigger point injections.
