More than eighty percent of adults suffer from acute or chronic pain in the lumbar region (lower back) at some point in their lives. Lower back pains Philadelphia residents often report to their physicians are typically a result of a condition that can be treated by one of several different procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. The sources of this pain in the lower back include a variety of disorders, deformities, bone diseases, and injuries to the vertebrae (the bones in the spinal column). These bones, especially in the lumbar region, have the crucial responsibility of supporting body weight, so it is often the case that an issue with these vertebrae is the source of lower back pains Philadelphia orthopedic patients report to their physicians.
Rothman Orthopaedic Institute offers a number of different treatment options for patients with lumbar disorders.
Our spine team consists of some of the best physicians in the world. In addition to the more than three thousand spine surgeries they perform on patients every year in the Greater Philadelphia Area, they also provide non-surgical treatment to patients with less severe conditions. Some of the conditions that we typically diagnose in patients with lower back pain include:
Herniated discs
Spinal osteoarthritis (spondylosis)
Sciatica
Spinal stenosis
Injuries including fractured vertebrae
If you and your doctor have discussed your lower back pain and believe that any one of these issues might be a part of the cause, the spine team at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute can diagnose and treat these conditions and many more. Let us help reduce your pain and restore your ability to do the things you love and need to do at work and at home.
