Are You Suffering From Back Pain?

Back pain can be due to many different factors. In addition to causing severe pain and discomfort, back pain can also impact your daily routine. If you are suffering from back pain, help is available. We practice an integrated approach to pain management at Scott Wagner Integrated Medicine in Charlottesville, VA. Our skilled providers will develop a comprehensive plan for alleviating back pain and treating its root causes.

Causes of Back Pain

Identifying the cause of back pain helps with treatment planning. In some cases, a combination of methods, therapies, or procedures could offer the best solution to resolving your back pain. The experienced providers at our office in Charlottesville can help with pain management by diagnosing the specific cause of your back pain.

Many different factors can contribute to back pain, such as various spinal conditions. Some common causes include:

  • Injuries or accidents
  • Stress fractures
  • Muscle strain
  • Sciatica
  • Pinched nerves
  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal osteoarthritis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Scoliosis

Lifestyle factors can also contribute to back pain. Frequently slouching, especially when sitting, can cause discomfort in the back. Other factors include a lack of exercise, being overweight, or wearing footwear without enough support, such as shoes with high heels. Another possible cause of back pain is regularly lifting heavy objects, such as on the job.

You should see a doctor about your back pain if you are unable to carry out your regular daily routine. Additionally, see someone if the pain persists for several days, has resulted in limited mobility, or you are experiencing a fever, chills, or signs of an infection. It is also best to see medical assistance if the pain is so severe that it keeps you from sleeping. In general, back pain that is serious enough to impact your quality of life is an indication that you need to see a doctor.
