Back Pain Q&A

Why is back pain so common?

Back pain is common because it’s a highly stressed part of the body. Almost everyone experiences back pain at some point throughout their life. Most back pain occurs because of a mechanical issue that affects one or more of the components that make up the spine. 

Some of the back pain conditions the team at the Center for Spine, Joint, and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation treats include:

  • Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
  • Scoliosis
  • Vertebral compression fractures
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Pinched nerve (sciatica, radiculopathy)
  • Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
  • Spinal stenosis

Pain may affect any part of the back but is more common in the lower back because it supports most of the weight of your upper body.

My back pain is getting worse. Can pain management help?

If your back pain worsens, the pain management specialists at the Center for Spine, Joint, and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation can help. Back pain symptoms vary depending on the cause, ranging from a mild, dull ache to severe shooting pain.

Most back pain resolves within a few days or weeks, but some people continue to have pain for months or years. 

Back pain that worsens over time affects your quality of life, and you may suffer more discomfort because you fear back surgery is your only option.

At the Center for Spine, Joint, and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation, the team has the same goal as you: back pain relief without surgery. They make this happen by using advanced technologies and a variety of treatment methods.
