Spine Treatment at American Pain & Wellness

Spine-related pain can significantly affect daily activities, mobility, and overall quality of life. At American Pain & Wellness in Allen, TX, we offer comprehensive spine care designed to address pain in the neck, mid-back, and lower back. Our goal is to relieve discomfort, improve function, and help patients maintain an active lifestyle.

Understanding Spine Pain

Pain in the spine can arise from a variety of causes, including:

• Degenerative conditions — such as osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease

• Herniated or bulging discs — which can compress nerves and cause radiating pain

• Spinal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on nerves

• Facet joint dysfunction — irritation or inflammation of the small joints in the spine

• Muscle strain or ligament sprain — resulting from injury, overuse, or poor posture

Because spine pain can stem from multiple sources, a thorough evaluation is essential for effective treatment.

Common Spine Pain Symptoms

Patients experiencing spine pain may notice:

• Localized or radiating pain in the neck, back, or legs

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs

• Muscle stiffness or spasm

• Limited range of motion and difficulty performing daily activities

• Pain that worsens with certain movements, posture, or prolonged activity

Early assessment is important, especially if neurological symptoms or functional limitations are present.

How We Evaluate Spine Pain

At American Pain & Wellness – Allen, TX, our evaluation process includes:

• Detailed review of medical history and symptoms

• Physical and neurological examination to assess spinal function, muscle strength, and reflexes

• Imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to identify structural or degenerative changes

• Diagnostic procedures when needed, such as facet joint or nerve blocks to pinpoint the source of pain

This thorough assessment ensures accurate diagnosis and guides the development of an individualized treatment plan.

Spine Pain Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to the patient’s condition, pain severity, and overall health. Options include:

Conservative Care

• Medications — anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or pain relievers

• Physical therapy — exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and promote spinal health

• Activity modification and ergonomics — strategies to reduce strain and prevent further injury

Interventional Therapies

• Targeted injections — including epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, and nerve blocks to relieve pain and inflammation

• Minimally invasive procedures — for cases where nerve compression or structural issues are contributing to pain

Multidisciplinary Approach

• Collaboration with specialists as needed for complex spine conditions

• Ongoing guidance to manage chronic pain and improve long-term outcomes

Recovery and Long-Term Management

• Most patients experience improvement with a combination of conservative care and interventional treatments
