Back Pain Treatment
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work and sleep in Noida — from muscle strain and poor posture to disc problems and arthritis of the spine. At Noida Orthopedic Clinic, Dr. Amit Aggrawal, an experienced spine surgeon, provides accurate diagnosis and a complete range of back pain treatments — from targeted exercises and injections to minimally invasive spine surgery when truly needed.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can arise from muscle and ligament strain (long sitting, lifting, sudden twisting), disc degeneration and herniation pressing on nerves, facet joint arthritis, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), compression fractures in osteoporosis, and less commonly, infection or tumours. Identifying the exact pain generator — not just treating symptoms — is the foundation of lasting relief.
Non-Surgical Treatment First
Most back pain improves without surgery. Treatment starts with a precise clinical assessment, medicines for pain and inflammation, activity modification, posture and ergonomic correction, and a structured physiotherapy program for core strengthening and flexibility. Where appropriate, image-guided injections (epidural, facet) provide targeted relief that enables effective rehabilitation.
When is Spine Surgery Considered?
Surgery is recommended for nerve compression causing persistent leg pain, numbness or weakness that fails conservative care, spinal instability or spondylolisthesis, progressive neurological deficits such as foot drop or bladder/bowel involvement (an emergency), and severe structural problems. Dr. Amit Aggrawal performs microdiscectomy, decompression (laminectomy) and spinal fusion with modern minimally invasive techniques where suitable — smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a doctor for back pain?
See a specialist if pain lasts more than 2–3 weeks, keeps returning, or comes with leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, fever, unexplained weight loss, or any bladder/bowel difficulty — the last being an emergency.
Is bed rest good for back pain?
Prolonged bed rest usually worsens back pain and delays recovery. Short relative rest with gradual return to activity and structured exercises gives better, faster results.
Can back pain be cured without surgery?
Yes — the large majority of back pain resolves with medicines, physiotherapy, ergonomic correction and lifestyle changes. Surgery is needed only for specific structural or nerve-compression problems.
What is the best sleeping position for back pain?
Sleeping on your side with a pillow between the knees, or on your back with a pillow under the knees, keeps the spine neutral. A medium-firm mattress and proper pillow height also help.
