Kentuckiana Pain Specialists

Expert Lower Back Pain Treatment

From epidural steroid injections for herniated discs to radiofrequency ablation for chronic arthritis, we offer innovative, non-surgical solutions customized to your needs — without heavy opioids or jumping straight to surgery.

Lower Back Conditions We Treat

Herniated & Bulging Discs

Targeted relief for nerve compression caused by disc material pressing against spinal nerves, including epidural steroid injections and other interventional approaches.

Spinal Stenosis

Non-surgical options to improve walking, standing, and daily function when spinal canal narrowing places pressure on nerves in the lower back.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Long-term management for age-related wear and tear in the lower spine that contributes to chronic pain and reduced mobility over time.

Additional Lower Back Conditions We Address

Our team provides advanced, minimally invasive care for a wide range of lower back conditions that affect movement, daily comfort, and quality of life.

Facet Joint Dysfunction

Precision treatment for localized spine pain affecting mobility, including diagnostic blocks and radiofrequency ablation when appropriate for facet-related pain.

Sciatica

Rapid relief for shooting, burning pain traveling from the lower back down the leg, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve roots in the lumbar spine.

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain

Targeted injections and advanced procedures to address pain originating from the SI joint in the lower back and buttock area.

Spondylolisthesis

Management for pain caused when one vertebra slips forward over another, which can narrow nerve spaces and contribute to radiating lower back and leg pain.

Arthritis of the Spine

Osteoarthritis affecting the lumbar spine joints can cause chronic stiffness and pain that responds well to minimally invasive interventional treatments.

Nerve Compression

Pinched nerves in the lower back can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs that benefit from targeted epidural or nerve-directed treatments.

How We Treat Chronic Back Pain

We prioritize minimally invasive, interventional therapies that target the source of your pain while dramatically reducing reliance on systemic opioid medications.

Anesthetic Injections

Epidural steroid injections, sacroiliac joint injections, sympathetic nerve blocks, and lumbar facet joint injections reduce inflammation and interfere with pain signals at their source.

Radiofrequency Ablation

A precise injection procedure using controlled heat to create a lesion on affected nerves, disrupting pain signals from spinal arthritis for relief lasting 9–24 months.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

An implantable device that delivers low electrical currents to disrupt stubborn pain signals — commonly used for failed back surgery syndrome and chronic nerve pain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lower Back Pain

Common questions patients ask before seeking treatment for chronic back pain.

If your pain lasts longer than a few weeks, is severe, radiates down one or both legs, or is accompanied by weakness, numbness, or tingling, schedule an evaluation with a pain specialist.
No. The vast majority of patients find significant, long-lasting relief through conservative and interventional non-surgical alternatives. Surgery is generally a last resort.
It depends entirely on the cause. For some, a facet injection and physical therapy work well. For others with chronic nerve pain, advanced neurostimulators or pumps may be more appropriate.
Maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular low-impact core strengthening exercises, and practicing proper lifting techniques can all help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Acute back pain typically results from a sudden injury and resolves within a few weeks. Chronic back pain persists for six weeks or longer and usually indicates an underlying structural or degenerative condition.
