Back Pain Treatment

The majority of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives. It may be a short-term pain from overexertion or a chronic condition that lasts for weeks, months or even years. Due to the complexity of the back, determining the exact cause of acute or chronic pain can be difficult. Dr. Harvinder Bhatti has the education, training and experience in back and spine disorders to help uncover the source of back pain and offer effective treatment options for back pain.

Back pain can begin quickly or slowly become more intense over time. Causes can range from muscle strain or spasms to nerve, ligament, cartilage or disc issues. Most back pain dissipates on its own as the tissues heal over several days. However, when pain persists for several weeks or longer, medical treatment may be required to relieve the pain and enable healing. This is when seeking the help of Dr. Bhatti can offer you the relief you need for your back pain.

Get Relief from Chronic Back Pain

The first step in treating chronic back pain is determining the cause of the pain. Dr. Bhatti will perform an exam to pinpoint the source of the pain. Since many components within the back are interlinked, it can often be a combination of factors that can be causing the pain. Dr. Bhatti can determine what options for treatment are best suited to relieve the pain and improve function. Treatments include non-operative options such as injections, physical therapy and minimally invasive surgeries, as well as more complex surgical procedures.

You don’t have to live with chronic back pain. Dr. Bhatti and his team at Atlanta Spine & Orthopaedics can help get to the source of your pain and offer an effective treatment option. Contact us today for your consultation and treatment session with Dr. Bhatti.

The last thing anyone wants who has had to endure traditional open back surgery is to not get the relief they hoped for from their procedure. Yet in up to 40% of traditional back surgeries, an effect referred to as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is experienced. In these cases, the desired outcome is not achieved and the patient may continue to experience the same or even worsening pain. At Atlanta Spine & Orthopaedics, we treat patients suffering from FBSS and actively seek treatment options that can prevent this condition from occurring.

Failed back surgery syndrome refers to a plethora of issues that can occur after traditional open back surgery. The symptoms can vary from continued chronic pain and limited mobility to new spine issues and the lack of recuperation after the surgery. Due to the invasive nature of open back surgery, there are many more possible side effects from these types of procedures, plus symptoms that can arise from scar tissue, nerve damage and the healing process.

Treatment for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Treatment of FBSS depends on what is causing the symptoms from the original surgery. In some cases, the procedure did not correct the issue or caused another condition in its wake. Dr. Bhatti at Atlanta Spine & Orthopaedics can perform a comprehensive exam to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms and offer treatment options to overcome these issues.

One of the ways that Dr. Bhatti avoids FBSS in his patients is by offering minimally invasive spine surgeries and non-surgical treatments that minimize risks of surgical complications. Most of these treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and require limited recovery time for our patients. These advanced spine techniques can offer better, more substantial results without the risks of open back surgeries. Contact us today to learn more about our spine treatment options.
