Back Problems

The seven vertebrae below the skull are considered the cervical spine or neck. The remaining 28 make up the back: 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (fused), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. If you have back pain, you are not alone: 9 out of 10 Americans suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. In fact, back pain is a major reason people go to the doctor. When the management of your back pain is no longer working, we can help.

Symptoms Of Back Pain

There are several symptoms of back pain. The pain may be dull, or it may be sharp; it even may be burning. It may be isolated to a small area, or it may cover a good portion of your back. Back pain can also cause shooting pain when you move, twist, bend or lift things.

Back pain may progressively get worse, or it may suddenly increase. You may even have part or all of your back go into spasm. Finally, some conditions may cause you to lose sensation and feeling altogether.

You may experience symptoms in your abdomen, or even in your legs.  Pain, tingling, or numbness below your knee, or weakness in one or both of your legs often can be attributed to back pain. Additionally, abdominal pain, numbness and tingling, and loss of bladder and/or bowel control may signal a back in need of pain treatment.
