Symptoms and Causes

Chronic pain usually needs a number of alternative and interventional options to provide consistent relief.

When to Seek Care
Acute back pain can usually be treated with conservative measures such as hot or cold compresses, massage therapy, or over-the-counter pain relievers. Surgery is rarely needed.Your specialist will ask about your symptoms and perform a physical exam. Depending on the extent of the pain, an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, or EMG study may be requested.If home treatment and proper body mechanics have not settled things within a few weeks, an evaluation is reasonable. The next step is a conversation.
