When it comes to chronic back pain, a healthy lifestyle can make a big difference.

First, address the things you can change, such as losing weight, quitting smoking or making your work area more ergonomically correct. Most importantly, maintain a low-impact exercise routine and strengthen your core, giving your body the tools it needs to take the stress off your back.

Talk to your doctor about treatments that can help you move past the pain. There are many options, including pain medication, physical therapy, and injections to nerve ablation.

What about surgery? With proper diagnosis and treatment, most back pain will improve without surgery. However, if you’ve gone through conservative treatments and still have no relief for your back pain, surgery can be an effective option to relieve back pain, neck pain, deformities and disc problems.

And while “spine surgery” may sound daunting, the good news is that many of today’s state-of-the-art spinal surgeries are minimally invasive and designed to spare healthy muscle tissue, speed recovery and cause less postsurgical pain.
