Back pain “Back pain is discomfort you feel anywhere along the back of your body, from the base of your neck to the top of your butt” It’s a common symptom of many different underlying injuries and conditions. Back pain is one of the top reasons why people visit healthcare providers. HOW DOES BACK PAIN FEEL Back pain can feel different depending on its cause. You might describe your pain as: Burning Aching Dull Sharp Shooting Stabbing Throbbing You may also experience: Muscle tightness or stiffness Tingling, numbness or weakness Sudden muscle twitches or contractions, which can range from mild to extremely painful (back spasms)

Back pain can feel different depending on its cause. You might describe your pain as: Burning Aching Dull Sharp Shooting Stabbing Throbbing You may also experience: Muscle tightness or stiffness Tingling, numbness or weakness Sudden muscle twitches or contractions, which can range from mild to extremely painful (back spasms) HOW DOES BACK PAIN FEEL TYPES OF BACK PAIN Back pain is oftenly described by according to its location. You may have: Upper and middle back pain. This is back pain you feel between the base of your neck and the bottom of your rib cage. Your thoracic spine runs through this area. Lower back pain. This is back pain you feel below your ribcage. Your lumbar spine runs through this area. Muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves surround your spine and help you move. But many different injuries and chronic conditions can affect all these moving parts, leading to back pain.

TYPES OF BACK PAIN Back pain is oftenly described by according to its location. You may have: Upper and middle back pain. This is back pain you feel between the base of your neck and the bottom of your rib cage. Your thoracic spine runs through this area. Lower back pain. This is back pain you feel below your ribcage. Your lumbar spine runs through this area. Muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves surround your spine and help you move. But many different injuries and chronic conditions can affect all these moving parts, leading to back pain. LOWER BACK PAIN Lower back pain is more common than upper and middle back pain. This is because: lumbar spine bears most of body weight most of the stress when you lift or carry things. So, this section of your spine and the structures surrounding it are especially vulnerable to painful injuries and wear and tear from overuse.

LOWER BACK PAIN Lower back pain is more common than upper and middle back pain. This is because: lumbar spine bears most of body weight most of the stress when you lift or carry things. So, this section of your spine and the structures surrounding it are especially vulnerable to painful injuries and wear and tear from overuse. Back pain according to how long it lasts: Acute back pain lasts less than four weeks. Subacute back pain can last anywhere from four to 12 weeks. Chronic back pain lasts more than 12 weeks.

Acute vs. chronic back pain Back pain according to how long it lasts: Acute back pain lasts less than four weeks. Subacute back pain can last anywhere from four to 12 weeks. Chronic back pain lasts more than 12 weeks. Back strains and sprains are the most common causes of back pain. With a strain or sprain, you may notice: Muscle spasms Pain that gets worse when you move Decreased range of motion CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

CAUSES OF BACK PAIN Back strains and sprains are the most common causes of back pain. With a strain or sprain, you may notice: Muscle spasms Pain that gets worse when you move Decreased range of motion Other back pain causes There are many other possible causes of back pain. These fall into several main groups: Mechanical or structural problems in your bacK. Infections Tumors

Other back pain causes There are many other possible causes of back pain. These fall into several main groups: Mechanical or structural problems in your back Infections Tumors Mechanical or structural problems These are issues with any of the following: Vertebrae Intervertebral disks The soft tissues surrounding your vertebrae and disks, including muscles, tendons and ligaments. Arthritis. Degenerative disk disease. Herniated disk. Scoliosis. Spinal stenosis. Spondylolisthesis Spondylosis.

Arthritis. Degenerative disk disease. Herniated disk. Scoliosis. Spinal stenosis. Spondylolisthesis Spondylosis. Infections that may cause back pain include: Spinal epidural abscess, an infection in the space between your vertebra and the outermost layer of meninges (dura mater). Besides back pain, you may also have other symptoms like a fever, difficulty emptying your bladder or loss of the ability to control peeing and/or pooping. Vertebral osteomyelitis, an infection of the bones in your spine. It typically causes lower back pain that persists when you’re resting. The affected bone(s) may also feel tender to the touch, and you may have other symptoms like a fever. 2.INFECTIONS

The pain may be dull, persistent (even when you’re resting) and worse overnight. You may also have sharp, shooting pain that spreads from your spine to your arms, hips, legs or feet.

You may also have sharp, shooting pain that spreads from your spine to your arms, hips, legs or feet. DIAGNOSIS Ask some questions about the pain, including what it feels like and what makes it worse or better. They’ll also review your medical history and talk to you about the types of physical activity you do from day to day. Physical Exam Imaging Tests like X-RAY, MRIs, CT Scans Electromyography (EMG) Blood test

Care and Treatment Therapies: Physical therapy Integrative medicine therapies, like acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy or yoga therapy Osteopathic manipulation Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which is a type of pain relief therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you cope with severe or chronic pain Medications: Medication injections, like an epidural steroid injection (ESI) or a nerve block Muscle relaxers, like cyclobenzaprine, metaxalone or methocarbamol (these medications require a prescription and have addiction potential, so closely follow your provider’s guidance on when and how to take them) Acetaminophen Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen Pain-relieving medications, like duloxetine (because opioids have strong addiction potential, providers typically only prescribe them as a last resort when the benefits outweigh the risks) Care and Treatment
