Lower, Upper & Middle Back Pain

Back pain is the second most common reason for doctor visits in India, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point in their lives.

Overview

Understanding Back Pain

Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation that leaves a person incapacitated. It can result from injury, activity, and some medical conditions. Back pain can affect people of any age — though it is significantly more common among adults aged 35 to 55 years. As people age, the chance of developing lower back pain increases. Dr. Sparsh Jaiswal uses advanced diagnostic protocols to identify the root cause — whether mechanical, discogenic, or neuropathic — and designs a precision treatment plan accordingly.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination, neurological assessment, and imaging — including X-ray to detect structural changes, MRI for disc and nerve evaluation, and CT scan for bony detail. Nerve conduction studies may be used when nerve involvement is suspected.
