Back Pain Treatment in Macomb County
Back pain can range from a mild inconvenience to debilitating pain that gets in the way of all aspects of your life. At Macomb Pain Management, we understand the struggles of back pain and are proud to offer our Macomb County back pain patients a wide range of treatments for pain caused by various factors. Often, one of the clues our back pain specialists will look for when building you an effective Michigan back pain treatment plan is the exact location of your pain. We’ll take a closer look at some common back pain locations and what they may mean for you and your treatment.
Common Sources of Back Pain
When our patients come into our pain management clinic with back pain, one of the first questions our board-certified pain management doctors will ask is the location of the pain. Back pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions, and the location of your pain gives our team valuable insight into what may be causing your pain levels. Some of the more common areas of the back that can cause patients to deal with back pain include:
- Muscle and ligament strains
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Arthritis of the spine
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint problems
In some cases, patients may be experiencing back pain in the same area of their back caused by two completely different issues.
What Your Back Pain Can Tell Us About Its Source
Just as back pain can present in several different areas of your back, it can vary in both type and intensity. By asking you questions about the type of pain and the severity of the pain you’re dealing with, our back pain specialists can further localize the source of your back pain. Some of the more common ways our patients describe their back pain include:
- Burning pain
- Tingling pain
- Numb pain
- Shock-like pain
- Pain accompanied by weakness
Understanding the exact type of pain you’re experiencing, combined with the location of your back pain, allows our team to build you a back pain treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your pain instead of merely covering up the sensations of pain with powerful pain management medications.

Building a Root Cause Focused Back Pain Treatment Plan
As we mentioned earlier, our team at Macomb Pain Management believes in a root cause approach to back pain treatment for our Macomb County patients.

Depending on the root cause of your pain, your back pain treatment options may include:
- Activity modification
- Physical therapy
- Nerve blocks
- Corticosteroid injections
Minimally invasive treatment options are available as well for Macomb County patients who are looking to avoid surgery. These treatments can include:
