Chronic Back Pain
Chronic Back Pain treatment addresses long-lasting pain in the lower or upper back caused by disc problems, nerve compression, or degenerative changes in the spine. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses accurate diagnosis and a full range of treatments — from conservative care to precise, minimally invasive surgery — to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
What is Chronic Back Pain?
Chronic back pain is pain that persists for several weeks or longer, often affecting the lower back but sometimes the mid or upper back as well. It may result from a slipped disc, wear-and-tear of the spine, pinched nerves, spinal narrowing, or past injury. When the pain is persistent or linked to numbness, tingling, or leg weakness, it may indicate nerve or spinal involvement that needs specialist evaluation. Treatment focuses on identifying the exact cause and relieving pressure on the affected nerves and spinal structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is often caused by a slipped disc, spinal wear-and-tear, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, or past back injuries
No. Most cases improve with medication, physiotherapy, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Surgery is considered only when there is nerve compression, weakness, or pain that does not respond to conservative care.
You should seek specialist care if the pain is persistent, radiates into the leg, or is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Recovery depends on the cause and treatment. Conservative care may bring relief over a few weeks, while minimally invasive surgery often allows a return to routine within two to four weeks.
