Treatment of Low Back Pain

Dr. Koppel has developed a systematic approach to low back pain. Many interventional physicians perform epidural steroid injections, which may or may not be the right treatment option. All patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation to make sure that the right treatment is performed which will diagnose and treat the condition.

The treatment of low back pain must be individualized per each patient’s distinctive condition. Epidural Steroid Injections are the most common treatment performed for low back pain. It may, however, be overutilized. Our approach is to perform an individualized diagnostic and therapeutic workup of the pain condition.

A vast number of treatments exist, including Trigger points, Facet and Sacroiliac Joint Injections, Selective Nerve Blocks, Radiofrequency Ablation, Diskography and Percutaneous Disk Decompression. These must be used appropriately and selectively to achieve the best outcome in the soonest time possible.
