Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints among adults and some studies have shown that almost 80% of adults will experience back pain at some point in their life.
Most cases of back pain are caused by overuse or a muscle strain and the good news is that most cases of back pain will subside on their own after rest and temporary activity modification.
When back pain does not subside for weeks and interferes with daily activities, it is then known as chronic back pain. This is when you should seek the expertise of one of the Board Certified Spine Specialists at OrthoNeuro to determine the underlying cause of chronic back pain.
Also, it is important to make an appointment if you begin to experience pain, numbness, or tingling in the buttocks, legs, or feet as this may be a sign of a more serious condition.
Similar to neck pain, chronic back pain can be the result of damage to the spinal discs or the vertebrae.
Proper examination and testing from a Board Certified Spine Specialist at OrthoNeuro is the most effective way to determine what is causing the pain.
Common causes of chronic back pain can be the result of underlying conditions including:

“I recently had surgery on my lower back. I had heard that such surgery would result in pain and cause me difficulties in doing ordinary daily tasks but, I experienced no pain and was able to do normal activities at home and at church. Also, being a bee keeper, I was able to work the hives and extract the honey from most of the hives”
