Back Pain

Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is among the most widespread health issues, affecting individuals across all ages. Whether it stems from acute injury, sedentary lifestyle, arthritis, or degenerative disc issues, the symptoms can range from dull aches to sharp, debilitating pain. At Pacific Pain Clinic in Irvine, Dr. Cyrus S. Sedaghat, a renowned Back Pain Specialist, uses a patient-first approach to understand the root causes and craft personalized recovery plans.

Causes & Contributing Factors

Back pain can originate from a variety of sources such as strained muscles, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and arthritis. Contributing factors include poor posture, obesity, repetitive lifting, and lack of activity. Identifying the specific etiology is central to helping patients overcome pain and avoid recurrence.

• Muscle strain and ligament sprains from overuse or improper lift techniques
• Spinal disc degeneration or nerve compression

Diagnostic Approach

When you visit our Irvine clinic, Dr. Sedaghat conducts a thorough assessment that includes:

• In-depth review of your medical background and pain history
• Physical examination evaluating posture, range of motion, and pain triggers
• Use of imaging tools such as X-ray, MRI, or CT scans if needed—to precisely locate disc issues, nerve impingements, or structural changes

This exacting diagnostic process ensures each patient receives the most accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan.

Personalized Treatment Options

Our Back Pain Treatment program offers a wide spectrum of conservative and interventional options tailored to your specific condition:

• Conservative therapies:

• Interventional procedures:

  • Trigger point therapy and nerve block injections
  • Advanced techniques like radiofrequency ablation for chronic pain

Clinically proven and minimally invasive, these treatments aim to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and restore quality of life while minimizing dependence on medications.
