Understanding Back Pain
Low back pain is among the most prevalent health issues, affecting 80% of adults at some point in their lives. This condition often leads to significant debilitation, impacting work, daily activities, and family life. Our comprehensive, personalized approach to back pain management focuses on:
- Enhancing mobility
- Reducing pain in the pelvic, back, and hip muscles
- Addressing the root cause through back stability correction
- Establishing a long-term maintenance program
Back Pain From Sports
We see many types of athletes from professional to casual. They often face unique challenges when recovering from back injuries due to the physical demands of their activities. At the Pain Center of Rhode Island, we treat sports-related back injuries with cutting-edge therapies that many other clinics in Rhode Island don’t offer together. Our approach is focused on addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction to help you:
- Recover effectively without surgery.
- Regain optimal function and strength.
- Prevent recurrence with targeted rehabilitation plans.
Physical Therapy
At the Pain Center of Rhode Island, we recognize the essential role of physical therapy in back pain recovery. To ensure optimal outcomes, we provide an in-house, specialized program led by Sheila Maguire. Whether it serves as the primary treatment or complements other interventions, Sheila creates individualized plans tailored to your needs.
Most common exercises and treatments Sheila recommends for back pain:
- Sciatic Nerve Glide
- Core Strengthening
- Lower Body Symmetry
- Posture Correction Exercises
“The key to back pain is strengthening your core to decrease strain on the pelvis and vertebrae on the lumbar spine. For symptoms that radiate into the legs or lower body, we will work to fix the spine alignment which reduces pressure on the nerve roots. This pressure is what causes numbing or tingling in the legs.” – Sheila Maguire
EMTT, Radial Shockwave, Focused Shockwave and Red Laser Therapy
With the rising incidence of failed back surgeries, we are proud to lead the way in non-invasive pain management. The Pain Center of Rhode Island is the only clinic in the state offering the synergistic combination of Radial Shockwaves for surface level pain covering a large area. Focused Shockwaves for targeting deep into tissue and muscle pains. EMTT for large areas and patient comfort. Together, these innovative treatments yield exceptional results. In addition we also offer Red Laser Therapy which triggers photobiomodulation to repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow.
Clinical research shows that Shockwave therapy for back pain is an effective treatment to reduce pain and dysfunction in patients without increasing the risk of negative reactions. You can find a summarized version of this research paper here.
PRP, Prolotherapy, Bone Marrow Concentrate
Dr. Cherubini is highly skilled in delivering these minimally invasive, state-of-the-art treatments designed to leverage the body’s natural healing processes. By activating regenerative mechanisms, these therapies offer a remarkable ability to repair damaged tissues, alleviate pain, and restore function in both the lower and upper back, providing patients with a non-surgical path to recovery and long-term wellness.
This Research study demonstrates the efficacy of these treatments:
- 74% of patients receiving Bone Marrow Concentrate for chronic low back pain reported significant pain reduction compared to those undergoing conventional therapies.
- Additionally (and surprisingly) opioid use was also lower among the group who received bone marrow concentrate.
