Back pain is often a signal that the spine’s specialized "shock absorbers" or structural components are under stress. Your spine is a column of vertebrae separated by discs that provide cushioning and flexibility. Over time, due to aging (Degenerative Disc Disease) or daily wear and tear, these discs can lose hydration, flatten, or bulge.
When these structural changes occur, they can narrow the space available for your spinal cord and nerves. This pressure—whether from a bulging disc or bone spurs—causes the inflammation, stiffness, and radiating pain that stops you from living an active life.

Dr. Sumit Das’s Evaluation & Treatment
Dr. Sumit Das brings over 25 years of neurosurgical expertise to your diagnosis, distinguishing between muscular strain, degenerative disease, and nerve compression.
Physical Examination
Our evaluation begins with a comprehensive physical exam to test your range of motion, reflexes, and balance to pinpoint the mechanical source of your back pain.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize high-resolution MRI or X-ray imaging to visualize the vertebrae and discs, identifying issues like bone spurs, stenosis, or disc degeneration.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises to improve posture and core strength, relieving the load placed on your spinal discs and vertebrae.
Therapeutic Injections
Epidural steroid injections or facet joint blocks delivered in our office to provide immediate, powerful anti-inflammatory relief to painful joints.
Medication Management
Strategic use of anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants to help manage acute flare-ups and facilitate participation in therapy.
Surgical Intervention
If conservative care fails, procedures like a Laminectomy or decompression are used to create space for the nerves and relieve pressure.
Successful Treatment of Chronic Back Pain
Restorative Sleep: No more tossing and turning trying to find a position that relieves the deep ache in your lower back.
Active Living: The ability to walk, garden, or exercise without the fear of your back "giving out" or locking up.
Freedom from Numbness: Many patients feel the radiating leg pain and tingling sensations vanish once the pressure on the nerve is relieved.
Relief is Possible—Often Without Surgery
Join the majority of Dr. Das’s patients who recover through physical therapy and on-site treatments. Let’s evaluate your options.
