Axial pain, which is pain that occurs along the spine, can stem from several sources, including facet joint dysfunction, discogenic pain, and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction. DISCLAIMER: These treatments should only be performed under the appropriate supervision and guidance of a medical provider.
Facet joint pain arises when the small joints in the spine become irritated or inflamed, often causing stiffness and localized discomfort.
Discogenic pain is associated with issues in the intervertebral discs, such as degeneration or herniation, leading to pressure on surrounding nerves and resulting in sharp or radiating pain.
Sacroiliac joint pain occurs when the SIJ, located where the spine meets the pelvis, becomes dysfunctional, often causing deep, aching pain in the lower back and buttocks.
Fractures, particularly those in the vertebrae, can cause axial pain by disrupting the integrity of the spine and putting pressure on surrounding tissues, nerves, or structures.
Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, leading to radiating pain, particularly in the legs (sciatica) or arms.
Radiating pain is often caused by issues in the intervertebral discs, particularly discogenic pain and disc herniations. DISCLAIMER: These treatments should only be performed under the appropriate supervision and guidance of a medical provider.
Interventional procedures like epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation around irritated nerves, providing significant pain relief. Radiofrequency ablations work by disrupting nerve signals responsible for transmitting pain, offering longer-lasting relief for chronic conditions.
Neuromodulation helps pain management by altering nerve activity through electrical impulses, reducing pain perception and improving function for individuals with chronic pain conditions.
Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, leading to radiating pain, particularly in the legs (sciatica) or arms.
Conditions like a pinched nerve in the neck or lower back can cause radiating pain, often felt as sharp, burning, or tingling sensations along the nerve’s distribution.
When one vertebra slips out of place over another, it can pinch nerves, leading to radiating pain in the back, buttocks, or legs.
