Back Pain Treatment in Nepal
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. Dr. Kshiteez Puri provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for back pain, neck pain, and related spine conditions.
Back pain affects people of all ages and can significantly impact quality of life. Most episodes of back pain are mechanical in nature and improve with conservative care.
However, persistent or severe back pain requires thorough evaluation to identify specific causes and guide appropriate treatment. Red flags such as neurological symptoms, weight loss, or fever require urgent assessment.
Dr. Kshiteez Puri offers comprehensive spine care with emphasis on accurate diagnosis and conservative management whenever possible.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Muscle and ligament strains: The most common cause, often related to heavy lifting, sudden movements, or poor posture.
Disc herniation: Bulging or ruptured intervertebral discs can compress nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, or weakness radiating to the legs (sciatica).
Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve compression, typically in older adults.
Degenerative disc disease: Age-related changes in spinal discs causing chronic back pain.
Spondylolisthesis: Forward slippage of one vertebra over another, causing instability and nerve compression.
