Back

COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

There are countless forms of back pain, and a variety of injuries and diseases can cause discomfort in this area of the body. Some of the most common ones we see among our patients in Beverly Hills & Manhattan include

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is characterized by the gradual wearing down of protective cartilage. When this condition affects the back, it causes damage to the bones that results in chronic pain, stiffness and limited mobility.

SPASM

If your back muscles are overworked, they may start to contract, and can even stay contracted– also known as a muscle spasm. Muscle spasms can present with intense pain and stiffness until the spasm resolves.

STRAIN

When a muscle in the back is overexerted or injured, causing pain and stiffness, this type of injury is generally classified as a back strain. This can often be the result of trying to lift an object that is too heavy, and can result in excruciating pain and disability.

SPRAIN

If ligaments in your back and spine are stretched or torn, it’s called a back sprain. In most cases, this injury causes severe pain in the damaged area.

DISC HERNIATION

Within the spine are flexible disks that cushion your bones and absorb shock. When these disks are damaged, they may compress a nerve resulting in lower extremity numbness, pain, weakness or tingling.

DIAGNOSING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF YOUR PAIN

When you arrive at the Orthohealing Center for some of the best spine pain treatment Los Angeles & New York have to offer, our priority will be to figure out the root of the problem. We want to achieve the correct diagnosis right away, integrating a comprehensive history and hands-on exam along with state-of-the-art imaging, so we can provide you with the most efficient treatment options.

To begin, we’ll talk to you about your symptoms, which will provide us with critical information about your underlying condition. We will then perform a physical exam, during which we’ll check for posture problems, evaluate your back for tenderness and trigger points, and assess your spine for biomechanical issues.

If we suspect certain injuries, such as a herniated disk or nerve injury, we will likely order additional imaging tests to obtain a definitive diagnosis.
