Modern, personalized solutions for lasting relief

Back pain affects nearly 8 out of 10 adults at some point in their lives—and while the causes vary, the impact on daily function, work, and quality of life can be significant. At Virginia Spine Specialists, we approach back pain with a comprehensive, up-to-date pain management strategy that focuses on accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and long-term relief.
Our goal is always to treat the root cause of pain first—using the least invasive and most effective options available—while helping patients avoid unnecessary procedures whenever possible.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain may be caused by:
- Muscle strain or ligament injury
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Arthritis or joint dysfunction
- Poor posture, repetitive stress, or injury
Symptoms can range from mild, intermittent discomfort to chronic pain that limits mobility, sleep, and daily activities. Because back pain is complex, effective treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Modern Non-Surgical & Integrative Treatment Options
Many patients experience meaningful relief through non-surgical and integrative pain management therapies, either alone or in combination. Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
Physical Therapy & Guided Rehabilitation
A cornerstone of back pain treatment, physical therapy focuses on:
- Improving strength and flexibility
- Correcting posture and movement patterns
- Reducing pain while restoring function
Therapy programs are customized to your condition and goals, whether you’re recovering from injury or managing chronic pain.
Image-Guided Injections & Interventional Pain Care
Advanced pain management techniques, such as targeted injections, may help reduce inflammation and nerve irritation—often allowing patients to return to activity while healing continues.
Complementary & Movement-Based Therapies
When appropriate, integrative approaches may be recommended as part of a broader plan:
- Acupuncture, which may help reduce pain and improve circulation
- Guided movement therapies, such as yoga or tai chi, to improve flexibility and body awareness
- Mind-body techniques, including relaxation strategies and stress management, which can play an important role in chronic pain control
These therapies are most effective when coordinated with medical care—not used in isolation.
When to Consider Advanced Treatment
If back pain persists despite appropriate conservative care, further evaluation may be needed. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgical options may offer lasting relief. These decisions are made carefully, based on imaging findings, symptoms, and how pain affects your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Back pain may be caused by muscle strain, ligament injury, degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, poor posture, repetitive stress, or injury. Because back pain can have many causes, a thorough evaluation is important to identify the exact source.
Yes. Many patients experience meaningful relief with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, image-guided injections, activity modification, and integrative pain management approaches. Surgery is considered only when conservative care is not effective.
Physical therapy helps improve strength and flexibility, correct posture and movement patterns, and reduce pain while restoring function. Therapy programs are customized to each patient’s condition, symptoms, and goals.
Surgery may be considered when back pain persists despite appropriate conservative treatment or when imaging shows a condition unlikely to improve without surgical intervention. The decision is based on symptoms, imaging findings, and how pain affects daily life.
If back pain is persistent, worsening, or interfering with daily activities, evaluation by a spine specialist can help identify the cause and guide effective treatment options.
