Exploring Traditional Pain Relief Methods for Radiating Back Pain: Pros and Cons

For many years, traditional pain relief methods for radiating back pain included:

• Pain medications: Over-the-counter or prescription medications, such as acetaminophen or opioids, may provide temporary relief.
• Physical therapy: Specific exercises and stretches can help improve strength and flexibility in the back, reducing pain.
• Injections: Epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in some cases.

While these methods can be effective, they may also come with side effects or limited efficacy for some individuals.
