Back Pain — Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Our interventional pain management approaches identify and treat the specific source of your pain for effective, lasting relief.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain is the single most common reason for missed work and the leading cause of disability worldwide. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that makes movement difficult. While most acute back pain resolves within weeks, chronic back pain — lasting longer than 3 months — affects millions and requires specialized evaluation and treatment.
At APSI Wellness, we specialize in identifying the precise source of your back pain and delivering targeted interventional treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine what's causing my back pain?
We use a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and diagnostic procedures (like medial branch blocks or diagnostic injections) to pinpoint the specific source. This targeted approach ensures treatment is directed at the actual pain generator.
Will I need surgery for my back pain?
Most back pain patients do not need surgery. Interventional pain management procedures effectively treat the majority of back pain conditions. Surgery is considered only when conservative and interventional approaches haven't provided adequate relief or when there's progressive neurological compromise.
How long will my back pain treatment take?
Treatment timelines vary based on the condition and approach. Many injections provide relief within days. Radiofrequency neurotomy provides months of relief. A comprehensive treatment plan typically shows significant improvement within 4-8 weeks.
Can I exercise with back pain?
Appropriate exercise is one of the most important things you can do for back pain. Your physician and physical therapist can recommend safe exercises that strengthen supporting muscles without aggravating your condition.
