Acute Back Pain
Acute back pain usually comes on suddenly and can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. At Louisiana Spine & Pain Institute, we offer prompt and effective care designed to prevent acute pain from progressing into a chronic condition. Our specialized treatments focus on relieving discomfort while addressing the root cause—whether it’s a muscle strain, ligament sprain, or disc-related issue.
Back pain that lasts for 12 weeks or more is classified as chronic. Our Institute, our specialists are highly experienced in managing chronic conditions using a blend of advanced therapies—including minimally invasive techniques, regenerative treatments, and personalized rehabilitation plans. We recognize that chronic pain demands a long-term approach aimed at enhancing your overall quality of life.

At Louisiana Spine & Pain Institute, our team uses advanced imaging and nerve testing to accurately pinpoint the source of the problem. We provide personalized, targeted treatments—from epidural injections to specialized physical therapy—to deliver fast relief and support long-term recovery.

-
Arthritis
-
Rotator cuff tear
-
Biceps tendinitis
-
Rotator cuff tendinitis
-
Impingement
-
Frozen shoulder
-
Labrum tear

Bursitis
How Is Neck & Upper Limb Pain Diagnosed?
Dr. Hamed begins diagnosis with a thorough physical examination to assess mobility, range of motion, and areas of discomfort. Your medical history and current symptoms also help guide the process.
When needed, additional tests may be ordered to confirm the source of pain, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) to evaluate nerve health and function.
In many cases, simple measures such as improving posture, avoiding prolonged strain, and using heat or cold therapy can reduce pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications may also provide short-term relief.
For persistent or more severe cases, Dr. Hamed offers a full range of advanced treatment options, including:
-
Physical therapy
-
Prescription medications
-
Trigger point injections
-
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
-
Epidural steroid injections
-
Facet joint injections
-
Radiofrequency ablation
-
Spinal cord stimulation
Each treatment plan is personalized, with a focus on using the least invasive methods whenever possible to restore comfort and improve quality of life. Contact our office to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options.
