Back Pain Treatment Specialist in Hattiesburg, MS

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds. At Southern Care Anesthetics, we understand that back pain can stem from a variety of causes, including problems with the muscles, ligaments, discs, and bones of the spine. Common triggers include muscle or ligament strain from heavy lifting, sudden awkward movements, or repetitive activities. As we age, conditions like degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis can also contribute to chronic back pain. Factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, and a lack of regular physical activity can further weaken the muscles that support your spine, increasing your risk of discomfort or injury.

While most cases of back pain are related to muscle strain and the natural wear and tear of daily life, some individuals may experience pain from more serious conditions, such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Our specialized team is dedicated to diagnosing the underlying cause of your back pain and providing advanced pain management solutions. From minimally invasive procedures to targeted anesthetic injections, we offer a range of treatments designed to relieve discomfort, restore function, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.

If you’re struggling with back pain, trust the compassionate professionals at Southern Care Anesthetics to deliver personalized care and innovative pain relief options tailored to your needs.

At Southern Care Anesthetics, we understand that back pain can significantly impact your quality of life. Back pain presents with a variety of symptoms, depending on the underlying cause and the specific area affected. The most common complaint is a dull, aching sensation in the lower, middle, or upper back. Some individuals experience sharp or stabbing pain, which can intensify with movement, bending, lifting, or prolonged standing. Stiffness and reduced flexibility often accompany back pain and may make it difficult to move or straighten your back fully.

Many patients also report muscle spasms or tightness in the lower back, hips, or legs. In cases where nerves are involved—such as with sciatica—pain may radiate down the buttocks, thighs, or legs. Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs can occur if nerves are compressed or irritated.

Our expert team specializes in diagnosing the root causes of back pain and offering a range of advanced pain management options, including minimally invasive procedures and anesthetic techniques. We tailor our treatments to each individual, focusing on relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring quality of life.

If you experience severe or persistent back pain, pain accompanied by unexplained weight loss, fever, or loss of bladder or bowel control, it may indicate a more serious condition. Our providers urge you to seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms occur.

At Southern Care Anesthetics, we understand that back pain can significantly affect your quality of life. Our approach to back pain treatment is personalized, focusing on the underlying cause, severity, and duration of your symptoms to ensure the most effective care.

For many patients experiencing acute or mild back pain, our team recommends conservative measures, including activity modification, rest, and over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Adjunct therapies like heat or cold application and gentle stretching can also help reduce discomfort and inflammation. We often collaborate with trusted physical therapists to develop customized rehabilitation programs aimed at improving flexibility, strengthening the muscles supporting your spine, and promoting long-term healing.

When back pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by nerve symptoms such as numbness or weakness, our pain management specialists offer advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options. These may include prescription medications tailored to your specific needs, as well as interventional procedures such as:

● Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and provide targeted pain relief.
● Nerve Blocks: To interrupt pain signals and help pinpoint the source of your discomfort.
● Radiofrequency Ablation: For longer-term pain relief in selected cases.

We also recognize the value of a comprehensive approach to pain management. Our team can coordinate with providers of non-medical therapies such as chiropractic care, or physical therapy, as appropriate, to complement your treatment plan.

At Southern Care Anesthetics, our primary goal is to help you return to an active, healthy lifestyle. We emphasize the importance of preventive strategies—such as maintaining proper posture and ergonomics—to minimize recurrence and support your recovery. If you are experiencing back pain, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team for an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Back pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages, and its duration can vary depending on the underlying cause and severity. At Southern Care Anesthetics, we understand how disruptive back pain can be to your daily life. Our experienced team specializes in advanced pain management and anesthetic solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

Acute back pain, often caused by muscle strains, sprains, or minor injuries, typically improves within a few days to weeks with self-care measures like rest, gentle activity, and over-the-counter medications. However, when back pain persists beyond six weeks (subacute pain) or becomes chronic—lasting more than three months—it may signal a more complex issue such as herniated discs, degenerative conditions, or nerve involvement.

Southern Care Anesthetics offers comprehensive evaluation and a range of interventional pain management options, including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and other minimally invasive procedures.

We encourage patients to seek professional evaluation if back pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, weakness, unexplained weight loss, fever, or loss of bladder or bowel control.
