Back Pain

Back pain is a common condition that can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Here are key points about back pain:
Back Pain Gilbert

1

Causes:

Back pain can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, ligament sprains, herniated discs, traumatic injuries, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors or underlying medical conditions.

2

Location:

Back pain can occur in the upper, middle, or lower back. The lower back is a frequent site of discomfort due to the weight-bearing nature of the lumbar spine.

3

Symptoms:

Symptoms may include aching, stiffness, shooting or stabbing pain, limited range of motion, or radiating pain that extends into the buttocks or legs. There can also be associated numbness and tingling.

4

Risk Factors:

Risk factors for back pain include aging, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, poor posture, and occupations that involve heavy lifting or repetitive movements.

5

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis involves a physical examination, medical history review, and sometimes imaging studies such as X-rays, CT or MRI to identify the cause of the pain.

6

Treatment:

Treatment options may include rest, over-the-counter pain medications, physical therapy, hot or cold compresses, and lifestyle modifications. In some cases, more advanced interventions like injections or surgery may be considered. See [Lumbar Procedures] for more details about the various minimally invasive surgical treatments offered at Spine Capital.
If you are having persistent or severe back pain, you should be evaluated by a healthcare professional who can determine the cause of the pain and recommend appropriate treatment options.
It’s crucial to seek medical attention if back pain is accompanied by symptoms such as numbness or tingling, weakness, or pain that radiates down the legs, as these may indicate more serious underlying issues.
