Treatments options

After an accurate diagnosis of your back pain, your doctor will be able to suggest the appropriate treatment option for you.

Fortunately, in most of the cases, back pain can be managed with conservative (or non surgical) treatments. Generally, you will be advised to follow four to six weeks of conservative treatment; after that you may notice pain relief.

However, depending on your condition, if a conservative treatment does not produce the expected result, your doctor may advise you to try other solutions.

Depending on your specific condition, your doctor may offer you a minimally invasive surgery or a surgery.

In the following section you will find an overview of treatment options, from conservative therapy to surgeries.
It is important to educate yourself on your back pain and choose together with your doctor the best treatment for you.
