Chronic back pain is a persistent and often debilitating condition that lasts for three months or longer, despite attempts at treatment and pain management. This type of pain can originate from a variety of sources, including muscles, nerves, bones, joints, or other structures in the spine. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis, although sometimes the exact cause remains unidentified. Symptoms typically include a consistent, aching discomfort that may be accompanied by stiffness, sharp pain, numbness, or tingling in the lower extremities. Chronic back pain can severely impact a person's quality of life, limiting mobility, disrupting sleep, and affecting the ability to perform daily activities. Effective management often requires a multifaceted approach, including physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, medications, and sometimes surgical interventions. Psychological support is also crucial, as chronic pain can lead to or exacerbate mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

An occipital nerve block is an injection of a steroid or other medication around the occipital nerves located at the back of the head. It is often used to treat headaches, including migraines and cluster headaches, that do not respond well to other treatments. At Maddox Pain Management, this procedure is considered for patients with chronic headache conditions, aiming to reduce the severity and frequency of headache episodes.
Epidural steroid injections involve delivering steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine. This procedure can reduce inflammation and swelling of nerves in the spinal column, helping to alleviate pain and allow for healing. It is commonly used for conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. At Maddox Pain Management, these injections are performed using imaging guidance to ensure accuracy, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing risks.
Interventional pain medicine involves various procedures to directly address the source of pain. Techniques can include nerve blocks, injections, minimally invasive surgeries, and advanced neuromodulation therapies.
