Back Pain

Back pain does not have to control how you sit, stand, move, or live.

Back pain can make everyday life feel difficult — sitting at work, standing for long periods of time, walking, bending, lifting, sleeping, exercising, or getting through normal daily activities may seem impossible.

You may have been told your back pain is related to arthritis, disc problems, degeneration, sciatica, inflammation, or age-related changes. You may have also tried pain medication, muscle relaxers, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic care, rest, or stretching that only helped temporarily.

At Pain Free Orlando, we look at how your back pain is affecting how you function and whether a non-surgical care plan may be appropriate for your condition.

This may sound familiar.

You may feel back pain when sitting, standing, walking, bending, lifting, exercising, sleeping, or getting in and out of a chair or car.

Maybe the pain started after an injury. Maybe it developed slowly over time. Maybe it comes and goes, but keeps returning. Maybe it has started affecting your legs, hips, or daily movement.

You may have already tried:

Pain medication
Muscle relaxers
Anti-inflammatory medication
Physical therapy
Chiropractic adjustments
Cortisone injections
Rest
Ice or heat
Stretching
Waiting to see if it improves

Some people get temporary relief, but the pain returns. Others are told they may need more cortisone injections, long-term medication, or surgery if the problem gets worse.

If that sounds like you, it may be time to take one more objective look.

Why back pain may keep coming back

Back pain is not always just a back problem.

The pain may be connected to inflammation, disc issues, joint degeneration, nerve irritation, past injury, muscle compensation, poor movement patterns, or how your body is dealing with the stress of sitting, standing, walking, bending, or lifting.

When the underlying issue is not addressed, temporary treatments may only help for a short time.

That does not mean surgery is your only option. It means your next step should be understanding what may be contributing to the pain before making any decisions.

The traditional route vs. our approach

Many people with back pain are offered medication, muscle relaxers, injections, therapy, chiropractic care, or told to wait until the problem becomes severe enough for surgery.

Those options may help some people. But if your pain keeps coming back, you may want to know whether there is another path that’s right for you.

At Pain Free Orlando, we take time to understand your back pain, your history, what you have already tried, and how the pain is affecting your life.

From there, our Care Team will help determine whether a non-surgical, therapeutic, and regenerative approach may be the best approach for you.

How we help

Our approach is not based on a generic package.

If we believe we may be able to help, your care plan will take into consideration the severity of your condition, your level of pain, your mobility, your previous treatments, and your goals.

For some patients, the goal is sitting with less discomfort. For others, it is standing longer, walking more comfortably, sleeping better, returning to exercise, avoiding surgery, or getting back to normal daily life.

Before making any recommendations, we will explain what we are seeing, what the next step may be, and whether you may be a good candidate for care.

Am I a candidate?

You may be a candidate if back pain is affecting how you sit, stand, walk, sleep, work, exercise, or enjoy your daily life.

You may also be a candidate if:

You have tried medication, therapy, chiropractic care, rest, or cortisone injections
Your pain keeps coming back
You have been told you have arthritis, disc problems, degeneration, or inflammation
You feel pain that travels into your hip, buttock, or leg
You were told surgery may be the next step
You want one more objective look before considering surgery
You want to know whether a non-surgical care plan may help you

The consultation exists to help answer that question.

If we believe we may be able to help, we will explain the next step clearly. If we are not the right fit, we will point you in the right direction.
