Back pain is one of the most common health complaints worldwide—affecting people across all age groups. While many episodes of back pain are short-lived, some cases persist or keep coming back, disrupting daily life and leading to frustration. At DRHC Dubai, we often meet patients who have been struggling with chronic or recurrent back pain for months or even years without a clear understanding of the cause.
This blog aims to increase awareness about why back pain recurs, the importance of accurate diagnosis, and when surgical intervention might be the right choice.
Back pain can originate from various structures—discs, muscles, joints, nerves, or even organs. Treating symptoms without identifying the underlying cause often leads to temporary relief and recurring pain. Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease may go unnoticed without proper imaging or evaluation.
Many patients rely solely on painkillers, rest, or temporary therapies. Without a comprehensive treatment plan—which includes physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and follow-up—healing may be incomplete, and pain can return.
Prolonged sitting, poor ergonomics, and lack of physical activity can strain the spine. Over time, this leads to muscle imbalances, stiffness, and increased pressure on the spinal discs—contributing to recurrent pain.
A weak core means your spine has to bear more load than it should. Without proper support from surrounding muscles, everyday activities can trigger pain or worsen existing spinal issues.
Age-related changes such as osteoporosis, arthritis, or spinal degeneration can cause persistent or returning pain. These require ongoing management and specialist intervention.
At DRHC Dubai, we believe that precise diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. That’s why we use advanced diagnostic tools, including:
Once we identify the root cause, we design a tailored treatment approach—aiming to relieve pain and prevent it from returning.
