Understanding Your Pain
What is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain is a common condition affecting people of all age groups — from young adults to the elderly. It occurs when there is an issue in the shoulder joint, muscles, tendons, or ligaments, impacting movement and causing discomfort.
In most cases, shoulder pain is caused by overuse: repetitive arm movements, poor posture, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, or sleeping in awkward positions. However, it can also indicate underlying conditions that may need expert medical attention.
Shoulder pain can range from a mild, constant ache to a sharp, sudden pain. It may stay in the shoulder or radiate to the neck, arm, or upper back — often accompanied by stiffness, swelling, weakness, or limited range of motion.

Precision Diagnostics
How Is Shoulder Pain Diagnosed?
Our specialists begin with a thorough physical examination — checking muscle stability of your legs, arms, and back. This is followed by advanced imaging and neurological tests to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain.
🩻
X-Ray
X-rays identify structural causes of back pain such as broken bones, arthritis, spondylodiscitis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal tumours. They also reveal problems related to the spinal cord, muscles, nerves, and discs that can be reviewed by our specialists.
🧲
MRI / CT Scan
MRI and CT scans provide advanced, highly detailed pictures of joints, spine discs, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These cross-sectional images assist our doctors in making an accurate diagnosis of back pain and detecting soft tissue abnormalities invisible on X-rays.
🧪
Blood Tests
Blood tests help determine whether back pain is caused by spinal infection (like Spine TB or spondylodiscitis), inflammatory disorders, or other systemic conditions. Elevated inflammatory markers, white cell counts, and ESR levels all guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.
⚡
Nerve Conduction Test
Also called the Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test, this procedure sends low-level electrical impulses through specific nerves and monitors how muscles react. It precisely locates nerve damage or compression — critical for sciatica, radiculopathy, and compressed nerve diagnoses.
Don't Ignore Persistent Back Pain
Untreated back pain can worsen over time. Early diagnosis leads to faster, more effective treatment.
Treatment Options
Available Back Pain Treatments in Mumbai
We always explore the least-invasive options first. Surgery is recommended only when conservative approaches fail or there is significant nerve compression.
01
Pain Relievers (NSAIDs)
02
Muscle Relaxants
Effective for treating painful muscle spasms — involuntary contractions caused by back conditions like whiplash, fibromyalgia, or lumbar pressure. Muscle relaxants work on the central nervous system to reduce spasticity. They are typically used short-term alongside physiotherapy for optimal outcomes.
03
Antidepressants for Pain
Certain antidepressants are prescribed specifically to reduce chronic back pain and muscle tension — independent of their mood-altering effects. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), SNRIs, NDRIs, and SSRIs all modulate pain pathways in the nervous system and can significantly reduce chronic back pain perception.
04
Topical Pain Relievers
Gels, creams, sprays, and patches applied directly to the painful area provide localised relief without systemic side effects. They work by numbing the area or reducing localised inflammation and are particularly effective for muscle-related back pain, joint tenderness, and mild disc-related discomfort.
01
Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
02
Core Strengthening
Effective for treating painful muscle spasms — involuntary contractions caused by back conditions like whiplash, fibromyalgia, or lumbar pressure. Muscle relaxants work on the central nervous system to reduce spasticity. They are typically used short-term alongside physiotherapy for optimal outcomes.
03
Posture Correction & Ergonomics
Certain antidepressants are prescribed specifically to reduce chronic back pain and muscle tension — independent of their mood-altering effects. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), SNRIs, NDRIs, and SSRIs all modulate pain pathways in the nervous system and can significantly reduce chronic back pain perception.
01
Corticosteroid Injections
02
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Effective for treating painful muscle spasms — involuntary contractions caused by back conditions like whiplash, fibromyalgia, or lumbar pressure. Muscle relaxants work on the central nervous system to reduce spasticity. They are typically used short-term alongside physiotherapy for optimal outcomes.
03
Spinal Cord Stimulator
Certain antidepressants are prescribed specifically to reduce chronic back pain and muscle tension — independent of their mood-altering effects. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), SNRIs, NDRIs, and SSRIs all modulate pain pathways in the nervous system and can significantly reduce chronic back pain perception.
01
Spinal Fusion Surgery
02
Microdiscectomy
Effective for treating painful muscle spasms — involuntary contractions caused by back conditions like whiplash, fibromyalgia, or lumbar pressure. Muscle relaxants work on the central nervous system to reduce spasticity. They are typically used short-term alongside physiotherapy for optimal outcomes.
03
Laminectomy
Certain antidepressants are prescribed specifically to reduce chronic back pain and muscle tension — independent of their mood-altering effects. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), SNRIs, NDRIs, and SSRIs all modulate pain pathways in the nervous system and can significantly reduce chronic back pain perception.
04
Vertebroplasty
Gels, creams, sprays, and patches applied directly to the painful area provide localised relief without systemic side effects. They work by numbing the area or reducing localised inflammation and are particularly effective for muscle-related back pain, joint tenderness, and mild disc-related discomfort.
01
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
02
Laser Spine Surgery
Effective for treating painful muscle spasms — involuntary contractions caused by back conditions like whiplash, fibromyalgia, or lumbar pressure. Muscle relaxants work on the central nervous system to reduce spasticity. They are typically used short-term alongside physiotherapy for optimal outcomes.
03
Minimally Invasive TLIF
Certain antidepressants are prescribed specifically to reduce chronic back pain and muscle tension — independent of their mood-altering effects. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), SNRIs, NDRIs, and SSRIs all modulate pain pathways in the nervous system and can significantly reduce chronic back pain perception.
04
ACDF (Cervical)
Gels, creams, sprays, and patches applied directly to the painful area provide localised relief without systemic side effects. They work by numbing the area or reducing localised inflammation and are particularly effective for muscle-related back pain, joint tenderness, and mild disc-related discomfort.
Know Your Risks
Risk Factors for Back Pain
Back pain can affect anyone — including teenagers and children. Understanding these risk factors can help you take preventive action before chronic pain sets in.
🎂
Age (30–40)
Back pain becomes significantly more common as we age, with the peak incidence between 30–40 years. Disc degeneration, loss of bone density, and reduced muscle elasticity all contribute to age-related spinal changes that predispose individuals to back pain.
🛋️
Sedentary Lifestyle
Weak, underused abdominal and back muscles fail to adequately support the spine. Prolonged sitting — especially with poor posture — increases disc pressure by up to 40% compared to standing. IT professionals and desk workers are particularly at risk.
⚖️
Excess Body Weight
Every extra kilogram of body weight places approximately 4 kg of additional load on the lumbar spine. This accelerates disc degeneration, increases facet joint stress, and strains back muscles. Weight management is an integral part of our back pain prevention programme.
🏋️
Improper Lifting
Bending at the waist rather than squatting with your legs when lifting heavy objects is a leading cause of acute disc herniation and muscle strain. Warehouse workers, movers, and even parents lifting children frequently suffer from this preventable cause of back injury.
🧠
Psychological Conditions
🚬
Smoking
Smokers face a significantly elevated risk of back pain for multiple reasons: chronic coughing strains discs and muscles; nicotine reduces blood flow to spinal discs (which have no direct blood supply); and smoking accelerates osteoporosis by inhibiting calcium absorption — all contributing to disc degeneration.
🦠
Underlying Diseases
Several systemic conditions predispose individuals to back pain: osteoporosis causes vertebral compression fractures; rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis inflame spinal joints; certain cancers metastasise to the spine; and spinal infections like TB can cause vertebral destruction if left untreated.
💻
Poor Workplace Ergonomics
Inadequate screen height, non-adjustable chairs, missing lumbar support, and excessive screen time are endemic in Mumbai’s corporate culture. These workplace factors cause cumulative microtrauma to spinal structures — often manifesting as chronic back and neck pain in professionals under 35.

Patient Stories
Real People. Real Results.
Over 10,000 patients across Mumbai have trusted One Spine Clinic with their back health. Here’s what some of them say.
★★★★★
“I had suffered from lower back pain and sciatica for nearly 3 years, visiting multiple doctors with no lasting relief. After one consultation at One Spine, the doctor immediately identified a disc herniation pressing on my sciatic nerve. Two months of physiotherapy and one targeted injection later — I’m completely pain-free.”
Rajesh Mehta
Software Engineer · Kandivali
★★★★★
“I was told by another hospital that I needed immediate spinal fusion surgery. I came to One Spine for a second opinion — thankfully. Dr. Raut reviewed my MRI and recommended endoscopic surgery instead. I was walking the very next day and back to work in 10 days. The difference was unbelievable.”
Priya Shah
Software Engineer · Kandivali
★★★★★
“As a construction site supervisor, my job demands physical work. A spinal fracture from a fall left me unable to stand. The vertebroplasty procedure at One Spine was done within 24 hours of my admission. Within 2 days I was standing. Within a week I was walking. The doctors and staff were exceptional throughout.”
