Q: What causes back pain?
A: Several health conditions and injuries can cause back pain, but usually, back pain occurs due to an issue occurring in the muscles, tendons, discs, ligaments, and bones. In other circumstances, nerve pain, autoimmune disorders, poor posture, and chronic conditions can be the underlying cause.
Q: Do I need professional help with my back pain?
A: Generally speaking, if your back hurts and you’re not sure why, it might be worth visiting a medical professional. Additionally, if your back hurts regularly (for more than a couple of weeks) and the pain is enough to interfere with your daily life, you should have it evaluated.
Q: What happens if I don’t get back pain evaluated?
A: That truly depends. If your back hurts for a day or two, clears up, and never occurs again, you’re likely going to be okay. However, if you’re ignoring chronic, moderate to severe back pain, you may be needlessly exacerbating your injury. Time is often a factor when it comes to back pain, so it’s better to err on the side of caution.
Q: Are there different types of back pain?
A: Yes. The most common form of back pain is muscular pain due to various strains. Back pain can be experienced differently from person to person. Some individuals experience a dull, throbbing pain in a single area. Others have back pain that seems to move to different areas of the back. Some might even experience pain that radiates from their back to their legs. The cause often influences the type of pain a patient feels.
Q: What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
A: Spinal Decompression Therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment option for individuals whose back pain is caused by disc issues. It involves gentle decompression to relieve the pressure placed on the spinal discs.
Q: What is Sciatica?
A: Sciatica is an issue that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed. This compression causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the lower back, buttock, or thigh. Though it can be unpleasant, the condition is treatable with non-invasive decompression treatment.
Q: What is DDD?
A: Degenerative Disc Disease, also known as DDD, is a condition in which the spinal discs become dehydrated and start deteriorating. It’s painful and progressive if left untreated. Fortunately, decompression and other non-invasive options can help reduce pain and restore the integrity of the spinal discs.
