Back and
NECK PAIN

Back and neck pain are common and often severely limiting conditions originating from the spine.  Symptoms can range from recent, intense to dull and chronic.  The pain may come-and-go or can be persistent over years. Back and neck pain are common and often debilitating conditions that can arise from various causes, including:

  • Disc pathology: Herniated discs, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease can lead to pain.

  • Muscle strains: Overuse or improper lifting can strain the muscles in your back or neck.

  • Joint irritation: Arthritis or other joint conditions can cause pain and stiffness.

  • Poor posture: Slouching or maintaining an incorrect posture can put stress on your spine.

  • Age-related changes: As we age, our spines can become more susceptible to wear and tear.

  • Nerve compression: Conditions like sciatica or radiculopathy can cause pain due to nerve compression.
