If you have aches, soreness, spasms or other painful problems with your neck or back, you’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems worldwide. Many American adults experience acute or chronic back pain, and pain in the lower back is the top cause of disability on the job.
Back pain is often related to aging, but it can also be caused by injuries, overuse, genetics or certain medical conditions. Summit Orthopedics treats both common and rare causes of back pain, with an emphasis on nonsurgical treatment options whenever possible.
If you are experiencing back pain or have been recently diagnosed with a specific condition, you may have questions about what to expect, what treatment could look like and whether you might need surgery. You may also be wondering whether you need to seek treatment for your pain at all.
