Many patients suffer from chronic back pain. Not all of them are aware of the fact, that there are several therapies that could be relevant for that indication. Could means that not each of these methods is proper for every patient, but it points to the fact, that you don't have to lose hope, if one single approach hadn't brought the desired relief. If you were able to realize which broad range of therapies currently are being used in our practice-clinic when an indication for chronic back pain has been stated, then you probably would gain additional self-conscience on your way finding the right procedure for yourself.

There are several non-surgical measures or therapies for chronic back pain that are worth to be mentioned.

Special in-patient procedures that are short-term and take place in the operating room under sterile conditions may be appropriate for chronic pain of the neck, thorax and lower back or even acute and chronic pain following surgical treatment of herniated disks. The in-patient pain management concept is based on the principles of modern physical therapy. The in-patient pain management shows very good results, " especially when such pain failed to respond to out-patient treatment."
Chronic lower back pain may be one possible indication when applying the minimal-invasive electrothermal therapy (IDET) of intervertebral disk, whereas chronic pain of spinal cord origin is known to be treated by a special variant of neuromodulation.
One remarkable minimal-invasive method originating in the works of Prof. Racz, the spinal catheter technique has been qualified in our practice-clinic by more than 3000 treatments of patients from all around the world; severe chronic pain and irritation of nerve roots as well as chronic back pain following back surgery constitute typical indications for which the Racz-method has proved its worth.
Pain management. Injection treatment provides a description dealing with the spinal nerve roots of the neck, thorax and lower back. It mentions acute and chronic nerve root irritation as one of few different indications for the explained procedure.

Perhaps this is the right moment to check our general declaration - our pain philosphy - on treating pain. acute and chronic pains. It formulates the statement "that many acute or chronic pains of the bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and joints (of the spinal column, for example) respond well to out-patient therapies. These include chiropractic, neural therapy and acupuncture, individually or in combination with various medications. Additional possibilities include physical therapy."
