Back Pain Treatment in Delhi

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — BACK PAIN TREATMENT IN DELHI

Q1. What causes chronic back pain?

Chronic back pain is caused by herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, muscle strain, spinal stenosis, spondylosis, poor posture, or nerve compression. It may also be linked to arthritis or osteoporosis.

Q2. When should I see a pain specialist for back pain?

See a specialist if your back pain lasts more than 6 weeks, is severe or worsening, radiates down your leg (sciatica), causes numbness or weakness, or disrupts daily life.

Q3. How does Eshna Pain Clinic treat back pain without surgery?

We use epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), PRP therapy, and trigger point injections — all minimally invasive, day-care procedures.

Q4. What is an epidural steroid injection for back pain?

An epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. It reduces swelling and provides significant relief from back pain, often lasting several months.

Q5. Can a slipped disc cause back pain?

Yes. A slipped (herniated) disc presses on nearby spinal nerves, causing severe back pain, numbness, and tingling that may radiate to the legs. Targeted interventional treatments relieve disc-related nerve compression without surgery.

Q6. What is facet joint pain and how is it treated?

Facet joint pain occurs when the small joints connecting vertebrae become arthritic or inflamed. Treatment includes facet joint injections (steroid + local anaesthetic) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

Q7. How many sessions are needed for back pain treatment?

Most patients experience significant relief after 1–2 injections. Chronic or complex cases may require 3–6 sessions combined with physiotherapy. Your specialist will create a personalised plan.

Q8. Is back pain treatment painful?

Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and cause minimal discomfort. Patients typically feel pressure rather than pain and can return home the same day.

Q9. What is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for back pain?

RFA uses heat generated by radio waves to destroy specific nerve fibres that carry pain signals from the back to the brain. It provides long-lasting relief (often 1–2 years) for chronic back pain.

Q10. Can back pain be completely cured?

Many patients achieve complete or near-complete pain relief with interventional treatment. Outcomes depend on the underlying cause, duration of pain, and the patient's overall health.

Q11. What lifestyle changes help back pain?

Regular low-impact exercise (walking, swimming), core muscle strengthening, maintaining a healthy weight, ergonomic sitting posture, and avoiding prolonged sitting all significantly reduce back pain.

Q12. Can back pain cause leg pain?

Yes — when nerves in the lower back are compressed (as in a herniated disc or spinal stenosis), pain, tingling, or numbness radiates down the leg — commonly known as sciatica.

Q13. What is the success rate of back pain treatment at Eshna Pain Clinic?

Most patients report significant pain reduction (50–90%) following interventional procedures. Dr. Banerjee and Dr. Dahiya have treated 500+ chronic pain patients with high satisfaction.

Q14. Is physiotherapy combined with injections for back pain?

Yes. We often combine interventional procedures with physiotherapy. Injections reduce pain so patients can actively participate in physiotherapy and strengthen the spine long-term.
