About Chronic Back Pain
What Is Chronic Back Pain?
Chronic back pain is pain that persists or repeatedly returns over an extended period. It may arise from muscle strain, disc problems, age-related spinal changes, arthritis, or nerve compression. When back pain affects sleep, work, walking, or everyday activities, a medical assessment can help identify the cause and guide treatment.
Common Causes of Persistent Back Pain
Possible causes include muscle and ligament strain, a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative changes, and irritation or compression of spinal nerves. Pain that travels from the back into the buttock or leg may be associated with nerve irritation, but an examination is needed to establish the likely cause.
Symptoms of Chronic Back Pain
- Lower back pain lasting more than a few weeks
- Pain radiating down the leg
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- Pain that worsens after sitting or standing for long periods
- Weakness in the leg

Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should I consult for chronic back pain in Saharanpur?+
A doctor experienced in musculoskeletal and spinal conditions can evaluate persistent back pain and determine whether further specialist care is needed. You can book an orthopedic consultation at SCHARI in Saharanpur to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
Can a slipped disc be treated without surgery?+
Many herniated discs improve with appropriate non-surgical care, which may include activity modification, physiotherapy, and prescribed medication. Surgery may be considered for selected patients with persistent disabling symptoms or significant neurological problems.
When is back pain serious enough to see a doctor?+
Seek medical evaluation for persistent or worsening pain, pain spreading down a leg, or numbness and weakness. New bladder or bowel problems, saddle-area numbness, or rapidly worsening weakness require emergency assessment.
Do I need an MRI for back pain?+
Not always. An MRI may be recommended when the examination suggests nerve compression or another condition that requires further investigation. Your doctor can determine whether imaging is appropriate.
What is the cost of back pain treatment in Saharanpur?+
Costs depend on the cause of the pain and whether treatment involves consultation, investigations, physiotherapy, medication, procedures, or surgery. Contact SCHARI for current charges and an estimate based on your needs.
