MAKE PAIN LESS PAINFUL
Some conditions of the spine can lead to severe pain in the neck and back. At our facility, we believe that it is very important to treat neck and back pain when the problem is diagnosed. Pain management for spinal injuries and disorders is intended both to mitigate severe pain and also to provide long-term management that can diminish or eventually eliminate it.

NECK AND BACK PAIN
What can cause neck pain?
Neck pain is often due to a muscle or soft tissue strain or even a compressed nerve. In many cases, bad posture puts excessive stress on the vertebrae and soft tissues in your neck, resulting in pain and a restricted range of motion.
DIFFERENT CAUSES OF NECK PAIN
Whiplash
Symptoms of a whiplash injury include neck pain, headache and neck stiffness. Recovery from whiplash depends on the individual and the extent of the injury, and can vary from a few weeks to months.
Worn Out Joints
Just like the other joints in your body, your neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions between your bones to deteriorate. Your body then forms bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain.
Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve happens when more than needed compression is applied to the nerve. The pressure is generally applied to the cells, cartilage, bones, and muscle, This strain hinders the normal performance of the nerve, resulting in tingling pain and numbness.
Tech Neck
Too many hours of being on your phone can strain your tendons and muscle. Too much time hunched over anything, including your computer, can do the same thing.
What can cause back pain?
Back pain may indicate a sprain, herniated disk, or other injuries like muscle damage. This might also point to pinched nerves if followed by numbness or tingling sensation. Immediate treatment is needed to prevent and avoid further damage.
DIFFERENT CAUSES OF NECK PAIN
Herniated Disc
A herniated disk is a condition that could happen anywhere along the spine, but most frequently occurs in the lower back. It’s occasionally known as a bulging, protruding, or ruptured disc . It’s among the most frequent causes of lower back pain, in addition to leg pain or even “sciatica.”
Muscle Strain
Muscle strain or lumbar strain occurs when the muscle or the tendon from the back becomes stretched or torn. This is due to lifting heavy loads or objects, standing or sitting for quite a while, or even a direct blow within the region.
Sciatica
Sciatica is a relatively common problem which leads to noticeable tingling, pain, and numbness in the back across the sciatic nerve. Your sciatic nerve are found at the bottom of the spine and across the rear of every one of your legs.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a condition in which bone tissue is not naturally replaced by your system as fast as it has to be. Because of this, bones become weaker over time, and fractures may happen more readily — sometimes simply from regular activities.
