Understanding Spine & Back Pain
What Causes Chronic Back Pain?
Back pain can develop from a variety of conditions affecting the spine, joints, discs, or surrounding tissues. Common causes include:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet joint arthritis
- Osteoarthritis of the spine
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Spinal stenosis
- Herniated discs
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Chronic inflammation
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for developing the most effective treatment plan.
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Without treatment, chronic back pain may continue to worsen, reducing mobility and quality of life. Some spinal conditions may progress, leading to increasing pain, decreased function, and greater dependence on pain medications.
Early intervention may help relieve symptoms while preserving long-term spinal health.
Common Symptoms
Patients with chronic spine or back pain may experience:
- Persistent lower or upper back pain
- Pain that worsens with standing or walking
- Stiffness and reduced flexibility
- Pain that radiates into the hips or legs
- Difficulty bending or lifting
- Muscle spasms
- Pain after prolonged sitting
- Limited mobility during everyday activities
Risk Factors
Several factors increase the likelihood of chronic spine and back pain, including:
- Aging
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Previous back injuries
- Repetitive lifting
- Obesity
- Poor posture
- Physically demanding occupations
Spine & Back Pain Treatment Options
If medications, physical therapy, or injections have not provided lasting relief, minimally invasive treatment may be an option.

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Spine & Back Pain
At NovaGen Interventional, we offer a variety of minimally invasive procedures tailored to the underlying cause of your pain. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include image-guided embolization procedures for chronic inflammation or vertebral augmentation procedures such as kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty for painful compression fractures.
Image-Guided Spine & Back Pain Procedures
Using advanced fluoroscopic or CT imaging, our physicians precisely target the structures contributing to your pain while minimizing disruption to surrounding healthy tissue.
For patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, minimally invasive embolization procedures may help reduce abnormal blood flow and inflammation. For patients with vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or injury, vertebral augmentation can stabilize the fractured bone, relieve pain, and restore spinal stability.
Every treatment plan is personalized based on your condition, symptoms, imaging findings, and overall health.
What Happens During Treatment?
Most procedures are performed through a tiny skin puncture using image guidance to precisely reach the treatment area.
Depending on your condition, your physician may:
Most procedures are completed in one to two hours under conscious sedation or local anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day.
- Stabilize a compression fracture using specialized bone cement
- Reduce inflammation through targeted embolization
- Perform other minimally invasive, image-guided interventions designed to relieve pain

Frequently Asked Questions About Spine & Back Pain Treatment
Am I a Candidate for Minimally Invasive Spine Treatment?
Many patients with chronic back pain, arthritis, vertebral compression fractures, or inflammatory spine conditions may be candidates. A consultation and imaging evaluation will determine which treatment is most appropriate for your condition.
Are These Procedures Painful?
Most minimally invasive spine procedures are performed under conscious sedation or local anesthesia. Patients typically experience little discomfort during treatment and mild soreness afterward.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Recovery depends on the procedure performed, but many patients return to light daily activities within several days. Patients treated for compression fractures often experience pain relief within days of the procedure.
Will I Still Need Spine Surgery?
Many patients are able to delay or avoid surgery with minimally invasive treatment. However, patients with severe structural spinal conditions or nerve compression may still require surgical intervention. Your physician will recommend the treatment option best suited to your diagnosis.
Will Insurance Cover Treatment?
Insurance coverage varies depending on the procedure and your diagnosis. Our team will verify your benefits and discuss your coverage before treatment begins.
