Spine Pain Treatment

Overview

What is spine pain?

Spine pain refers to discomfort, stiffness or nerve-related symptoms affecting the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back) or lumbar (lower back) regions. The spine protects the spinal cord, supports body weight and allows movement, making it particularly vulnerable to injury, degeneration and inflammation.

Spine pain may develop suddenly after injury or gradually over time. Research shows that up to 60% of adults will suffer back pain at some point in their lives. In some cases, symptoms persist and become chronic spine pain, continuing despite initial treatment. Specialist assessment helps determine whether pain originates from spinal joints, discs, nerves, or surrounding soft tissues, guiding appropriate spine pain treatment.

Symptoms and causes of spinal pain

Common symptoms of spine pain

Symptoms vary depending on the area affected, but may include:

  • Localised back or neck pain
  • Stiffness or reduced range of movement
  • Pain that worsens with sitting, bending or standing
  • Nerve-related symptoms such as tingling, burning or shooting pain
  • Pain  radiates into the arms or legs

Common causes of spine pain

Spinal pain can develop for a range of reasons, including:

  • Degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis
  • Disc bulges or herniated discs
  • Nerve compression, including sciatica or cervical nerve irritation
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Facet joint inflammation
  • Postural strain or repetitive loading

Many people seek care from a back pain specialist or for neck pain treatment when symptoms persist or worsen.

When to seek spine pain treatment

Mild spinal pain may improve with rest, physiotherapy or activity modification. However, specialist assessment is recommended if pain persists despite conservative care, symptoms interfere with work or daily life, nerve-related pain develops, or pain continues to worsen over time. Early assessment can help prevent long-term problems and support a more effective recovery.

Spine pain treatment at LivingCare

Following a detailed consultation, your consultant may recommend one or more treatment options depending on the cause of your symptoms. Our spine pain treatment in Sheffield and Leeds includes:

Spinal injections

Spinal injections are commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation around spinal joints or nerves. They may help improve comfort and support rehabilitation.

X-ray guided spinal injections

Fluoroscopy (X-ray) guidance allows injections to be delivered precisely to the targeted area, improving accuracy and safety.

Ultrasound guided injections

Ultrasound guidance may be used in selected cases to visualise soft tissues and guide accurate injection placement.

Steroid and local anaesthetic injections

Steroid and local anaesthetic injections can reduce inflammation and nerve irritation, providing symptom relief for some patients.

Hyaluronic acid injections

Hyaluronic acid injections may be suitable for selected degenerative spinal joint conditions.

Your consultant will explain which option is most appropriate and whether image-guided treatment is recommended.

Recovery and expected outcomes

Most people tolerate spinal injections well and can return to gentle activities within 24 to 48 hours. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting are usually avoided for a short period to allow the treatment to settle.

By reducing pain and inflammation, spine pain treatment can help improve daily function, support physiotherapy and restore confidence in movement. The duration varies depending on the treatment used and the underlying condition.

Reducing the risk of chronic spine pain

Long-term spinal health often involves a combination of treatment and rehabilitation. Strengthening, posture management and gradual return to activity can reduce the risk of pain returning. Managing underlying degenerative or inflammatory conditions also plays an important role in preventing ongoing spinal pain.
