Neck and Back Pain Causes
Neck and back pain are two of the most common complaints doctors receive, and the reasons behind those uncomfortable conditions are also plentiful. Some neck and back pain causes stem from physical behavior. For instance, if you bend or lift incorrectly you could strain the muscles, joints and other tissues in your back or neck. This can also occur if you’re in a car accident or you sustain an injury in a contact sport. Inactivity and lack of back and neck strength can also cause pain, as can repeated use of a muscle. People that sit in the same position all day at work, or repeat the same activity over and over again can develop back and neck pain. All of these neck and back pain causes can manifest into different conditions. Other times, you may develop a condition without knowing how or why it came about.
In any case, if you are experiencing neck or back pain, these are some of the potential causes:
- Sciatica
- Herniated disc
- Facet disease
- Spinal Stenosis
- Pinched nerve
- Arthritis of the spine
If you suffer from any of these neck or back pain causes or any one of a host of others, you may need treatment. That can mean anything from performing a regular routine of stretches to undergoing surgery. Your doctor will help you decide which treatment is the best option, and if that happens to be surgery, you will want to ask them about endoscopic procedures. These are the type that we offer at Laser Spine Institute. They are easier on the body, and yield better results than traditional surgery. They also have a shorter recovery time and fewer risks than are associated with traditional surgery.
If you’d like to learn more about endoscopy and how it can eliminate your neck and back pain causes, contact Laser Spine Institute today. We’ll answer all of your questions and arrange to review your MRI or CT scan for free to determine whether we can help you with one of our procedures.
