Back pain is a common reason for patients to seek medical care. Most people experience back pain in one form or another, and there are many potential causes. Back pain can be divided into 2 broad categories:
Treatment Options for Neck and Arm Pain
Acute Back and Leg Pain
Acute back pain is severe and has been going on for a short period of time.
- Have you ever “thrown your back out,” or woken up with a back ache? Many of us have, and this is most commonly due to a muscle strain or overuse
- Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles of the core and back can protect you from another back injury

* Pain can be severe, but is often described as stiffness, achy, burning, and/or fatigue. Chronic back pain has multiple causes, including degenerative arthritis, muscle fatigue, and nerve compression.
* Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles of the core and back can be an effective treatment. When nerve compression is involved, other treatments are often necessary.
