Back and Neck Pain

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek medical care—and they’re also some of the most misunderstood. Whether it’s a dull ache that won’t go away or sharp, radiating pain that disrupts your day, this kind of discomfort can interfere with everything from your job to your sleep.

At Pain Management Solutions, we specialize in identifying the source of your back or neck pain and using minimally invasive treatments to help you find lasting relief.

Common Causes of Back and Neck Pain

Not all spine pain is the same. That’s why the first step in successful treatment is understanding where your pain is coming from. Some of the most common causes we treat include:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Facet joint arthritis
• Muscle strain or ligament sprain
• Whiplash or traumatic injury
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
• Post-surgical spine pain

Pain may be localized to the neck or lower back—or it may radiate into the arms, shoulders, buttocks, or legs due to nerve compression.

When to Seek Help for Spine Pain

You don’t have to wait until the pain is unbearable to get help. Consider seeing a pain specialist if your back or neck pain:

• Lasts longer than a few weeks
• Gets worse with activity or certain movements
• Causes numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs
• Interferes with your ability to work, sleep, or exercise
• Has not improved with rest, physical therapy, or medications
