Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints among adults, and it can range from a dull, constant ache to a sharp, sudden pain. It can occur anywhere along the spine—from the neck to the lower back—and may radiate into the hips, legs, or arms depending on the cause. Nearly every adult experiences back pain. In fact, one in four Americans report having had at least one day of lower back pain within the past three months. You don’t have to live with constant back pain, especially if it prevents you from going to work or completing your daily activities. Evia Medical Center in Smithtown, New York, offers a wide range of treatments for back pain using an integrative medicine approach. Call today and get back on your feet again.

When should you seek treatment for back pain?

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits in the United States. In fact, it accounts for billions of dollars of lost wages for working Americans and lost productivity for employers. Some back pain will resolve itself with rest and an over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen. If your back pain goes away after trying this for a day or two, you do not need to see a doctor. However, if your back pain does not resolve after several days, gets worse, or returns after you go back to your daily activities, then you should seek treatment from a professional at Evia Medical Center.

Common Types of Back Pain

  • Acute Back Pain: Usually lasts a few days to a few weeks; often caused by muscle strain, injury, or sudden movements.
  • Chronic Back Pain: Persists for 12 weeks or more, even after an initial injury or underlying cause has been treated.
  • Lower Back Pain (Lumbar Pain): The most common form, often linked to poor posture, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions.
  • Upper & Mid-Back Pain: Less common, but may be associated with poor ergonomics, muscular irritation, or joint issues.

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can result from many different factors, including:

  • Muscle or ligament strain from heavy lifting or awkward movements
  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease or arthritis
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Injuries from sports, accidents, or falls
  • Scoliosis or abnormal spinal curvature
  • Lifestyle factors, including lack of exercise or excess body weight
