Chronic Back Pain Treatment
10,000+ Delhi patients arrived after years of painkillers, physio, injections, and "live with it." One blood test showed the usual gap: weak, worn spinal muscles an MRI never measures. Then we treated that. No theatre. No long-term NSAIDs.
96% success rate. Zero surgery.
Why this back pain has lasted — and why it does not have to
Chronic back pain is the number-one reason people in India lose work days. Painkillers, physio, a steroid shot — that mix helps about 40%. The rest keep hurting, keep paying, and start thinking this is just their back now. If you sit from South Ex to Gurgaon every day, or stand through a shop shift, the muscles that hold the spine quietly fail. Pills never see that. The NIH page on low back pain is a plain-English overview of how common this is.
At OPTM, F-38, Block-F, South Extension-1, we ask why. AI reads 60+ blood biomarkers: spinal support muscle health, inflammation, tissue wear. Once we know what failed, we treat that — not the next flare. Call +91-11-4059-5555.
What the MRI does not show
The MRI shows the disc. The X-ray shows bone. Neither shows the paraspinal muscles — the deep ones that hold the spine up. When those muscles waste (age, metabolism, inflammation — it is quiet), the spine wobbles. Discs take a load they were not built for. Nerves get crowded. You hurt. That is why a "normal-ish" MRI and a wrecked workday can coexist.
Dr. Apurba Ganguly's 35+ years of biochemistry work is what this clinic measures: muscle enzyme panels, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, mitochondrial function. That is where the answer usually sits.
Common Contributing Factors:
- Muscle or ligament strain from improper lifting or sudden movements
- Degenerative disc disease as discs lose cushioning
- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on nerves
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Skeletal irregularities like scoliosis
- Osteoarthritis affecting the spine
Common Symptoms & Warning Signs
Do not wait until you cannot sit through a meeting. Treating the muscle failure early is how people here stay off the surgery list.
What we actually do — step by step
We do not throw a standard back protocol at you. Your biomarkers set the order: settle inflammation, rebuild the muscles that quit, then get you sitting and walking without bargaining with the pain every morning.

Prevention & Lifestyle Tips
A back that has already failed once needs daily habits, not another belt. We show you what to keep doing after the pain drops.
