Depending on the diagnosis, most back pain is treated initially with non-surgical options. These options range from hot or cold packs, exercise and medications to traction, braces, injections and alternative treatments (such as manipulation, acupuncture and TENS or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). However, if these methods fail, or if you are in constant pain or if pain interferes with your ability to sleep or function normally during the day, then you may be a candidate for surgery.
