What is Back & Neck Pain?

Back and neck pain are common musculoskeletal issues that affect posture, mobility, and daily activities. While some cases are temporary, others may indicate underlying spine conditions that require medical attention.

Causes of Back & Neck Pain

Poor Posture – Sitting or standing improperly strains the spine.
Muscle Strain – Overuse or sudden movement can lead to pain.
Herniated or Bulging Discs – Disc issues can press on nerves, causing pain.
Spinal Arthritis – Degeneration of joints in the spine.
Osteoporosis – Weak bones can lead to fractures and pain.
Spinal Injuries & Trauma – Accidents or falls can damage the spine.
Nerve Compression (Sciatica, Cervical Radiculopathy) – Pinched nerves cause radiating pain.

Symptoms of Back & Neck Pain

Persistent pain in the lower back, upper back, or neck.
Stiffness and reduced mobility in the spine.
Radiating pain down the arms or legs (nerve involvement).
Muscle spasms and weakness.
Tingling or numbness in the limbs.

Diagnosis of Back & Neck Pain

We use advanced techniques to diagnose the root cause of pain:

Physical Examination & Medical History – Evaluating pain patterns.
X-rays & MRI Scans – Detecting structural spine issues.
CT Scans & Nerve Studies (EMG) – Identifying nerve damage.
