Treatment approach
Most back pain improves without an operation. Treatment usually starts with medicines, posture and exercise advice and physiotherapy. Pain-relief injections such as nerve root blocks and epidural injections may help selected patients. Spine surgery is considered for nerve compression with weakness, or pain that does not settle with other treatment.
See a doctor urgently if
- You have weakness or numbness in a leg or arm
- You lose control of your bladder or bowels
- Back pain follows a fall or injury
