No Wait, Just Care.
Back pain, spinal injuries, and infections are some of the most common yet debilitating conditions affecting individuals in Houston. These issues can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-altering conditions requiring immediate medical intervention. At Heights Emergency Room, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of back-related health concerns, providing expert care and advanced treatment options to help you get back to living your life pain-free.
Understanding Back Pain and Its Causes
Back pain is a common complaint among adults and can stem from various causes, including:
- Muscle Strain: Overuse, improper lifting techniques, or sudden movements can lead to strained muscles or ligaments.
- Herniated Discs: A slipped or ruptured disc can compress nerves, leading to severe pain and mobility issues.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis in the spine can cause chronic pain and reduced flexibility.
- Infections: Spinal infections like osteomyelitis or discitis are rare but serious, requiring urgent medical attention.
At Heights Emergency Room, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your back pain and provide effective treatment tailored to your needs.
Spinal Injuries: When Every Second Counts
Spinal injuries are often caused by traumatic incidents such as car accidents, falls, or sports-related injuries. These injuries can result in:
- Fractures or Dislocations: Immediate stabilization is crucial to prevent further damage.
- Spinal Cord Compression: This can lead to partial or complete loss of movement or sensation.
- Nerve Damage: Persistent pain, numbness, or weakness may indicate nerve injury.
Our team at Heights Emergency Room is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools like CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs to evaluate spinal injuries accurately. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can prevent complications and improve recovery outcomes.
Infections Affecting the Spine
Spinal infections, though uncommon, can have severe consequences if not treated promptly. These infections may include:
- Osteomyelitis: Infection of the vertebrae causing localized pain and fever.
- Discitis: Infection of the intervertebral discs, leading to intense pain and restricted mobility.
- Abscess Formation: An epidural abscess can compress the spinal cord, causing neurological symptoms and requiring emergency intervention.
Symptoms of spinal infections may include fever, chills, unexplained back pain, and difficulty moving. At Heights Emergency Room, our expert team provides rapid testing, including blood tests and imaging, to confirm the presence of an infection and begin treatment immediately, often with IV antibiotics or surgical referrals if necessary.
