Back & Spine Pain: Non-Surgical Care

What is it?

About this condition

Back pain is one of the most common causes of disability in Mexico. Most cases — including disc herniations — can be treated without surgery using image-guided interventional techniques that go directly to the source of the pain.

Common symptoms

How does it present?

Acute or chronic low back pain
Neck pain with or without radiation to the arms
Disc herniation with nerve root compression
Pain that worsens with specific movements or posture
Electric shock sensation toward legs or arms
Morning stiffness or after prolonged sitting

Interventional approach

Treatment options

Each case is evaluated individually. The treatment plan is defined at the first appointment.

Facet joint radiofrequency

Deactivates the nerves that transmit pain from the vertebral joints. Prolonged relief without surgery.

Epidural and nerve root block

Fluoroscopy-guided injection into the epidural space or compressed nerve root. Reduces inflammation and radicular pain from disc herniation.

Peridural neuroplasty

For cases of epidural fibrosis or chronic radicular pain that does not respond to conventional blocks.

Paravertebral ozone therapy

Ozone injection into paravertebral tissues to reduce inflammation and improve tissue metabolism.

Relief typically lasts between 6 months and 2 years. The procedure can be repeated if pain returns.

Is the epidural block safe? +

Yes, when performed by a specialist with fluoroscopic guidance. Image guidance is essential for the precision and safety of the procedure.

Can I continue working during treatment? +

In most cases yes. The procedures are outpatient with quick recovery, generally 24 to 48 hours.
