📌 Learn more about IROM procedures at https://www.BondMedicalCenter.com Your back locks up again after one small twist. You did the physical therapy. You got adjusted. You took the anti-inflammatories. And you're still stuck in the same painful cycle. There is a reason for that, and it is not what most doctors tell you. In this episode, I'm going to walk through the standard back pain treatment pathway, physical therapy, chiropractic care, steroid shots, and nerve ablations, and explain why each one can fail to fix the real problem long term.

Recurring pain after treatment usually means an underlying joint instability was never addressed. The muscles keep spasming to protect an unstable joint, so relief from adjustments or therapy is temporary. Are cortisone shots bad for chronic back pain? Cortisone reduces inflammation short term, but inflammation is the first step of healing, so repeated steroid shots can actually slow healing and cause soft tissue scarring over time. Studies show pain relief typically lasts only two weeks to two months. Is nerve ablation a good treatment for back pain? Nerve ablation can numb pain, but the same nerve also controls the small stabilizing muscles of the spine. Destroying it can weaken those muscles and set you up for a bigger injury later.
