How is Lumbago Diagnosed and Treated?
Lumbago is most often diagnosed through a careful medical history coupled with advanced tools such as MRI or CT scan equipment. The course of treatment may vary greatly depending on the cause of the lumbago, the type of pain, the age of the patient and the severity of the case. However, physical therapy and certain medications are frequently the first line methods prescribed. If your lumbago is persistent and does not respond to more conservative treatments, surgery could be an option. The types of procedures performed at The Bonati Institute for Advanced Arthroscopic Surgery, one of the world’s leading spine centers, have a 90+ percent success rate and require relatively little recovery time.
