Back pain is the single most common cause of disability worldwide, and in Delhi's sedentary urban lifestyle, it affects people across all age groups.
At Eshna Pain & Palliative Centre, we approach back pain not as an inevitable part of aging, but as a treatable condition — with a precise diagnosis at its foundation.
• Acute Back Pain: Pain lasting less than 6 weeks, often due to muscle strain or minor disc injury
• Subacute Back Pain: Pain lasting 6–12 weeks. Requires evaluation to prevent progression to chronic pain
• Chronic Back Pain: Pain persisting beyond 12 weeks and is our core specialty.
• Lumbar facet joint arthropathy (facet-mediated pain)
• Lumbar disc herniation and discogenic pain
• Lumbar canal stenosis
• Spondylosis and spondylolisthesis
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Post-surgical back pain (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome)
• Myofascial pain syndrome
• CRPS and neuropathic back pain
Optimized analgesic prescribing (WHO ladder, adjuvants), physiotherapy direction and core strengthening guidance, posture and ergonomic correction.
• Lumbar Medial Branch Blocks / Facet Joint Injections: For facet-mediated back pain
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Medial Branches: Long-lasting relief (9–18 months) for facet pain
• Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection: For disc-related and nerve root pain
• Sacroiliac Joint Injection: For SI joint dysfunction
• Trigger Point Injections: For myofascial pain
Q: What is the best treatment for chronic back pain?
A: Effective management requires identifying the specific pain generator. Facet pain responds to radiofrequency ablation; disc pain responds to epidural injections; SI joint pain responds to targeted SI joint procedures. At Eshna, we diagnose before we treat.
Q: I've been told I need surgery. Do I have other options?
A: In many cases, yes. Conditions commonly referred for surgery — such as lumbar stenosis, facet arthropathy, and disc herniation — often respond well to interventional pain procedures. We provide an honest second opinion and explore all non-surgical options first.
Q: How many sessions of treatment will I need?
A: Most interventional procedures show results in 1–2 sessions. Radiofrequency ablation typically provides relief lasting 9–18 months. Your treatment plan is individualized at your first consultation.
