EDISCSCULPTBack pain is one of the most common reasons for Americans to visit their physician, and one of the most common causes of chronic pain overall. With effective treatment by a quality back pain doctor, the majority of patients find that their symptoms are resolved, allowing them to return to normal life.
Causes and Treatment of Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by many conditions.
The structures of the spine are delicate and intricate, so choosing the best back pain doctor is key. Your doctor should have a background in pain management, which helps him or her accurately assess the causes and effects of your pain; doctors with this background also tend to take pain complaints seriously, an important factor. If you are considering surgical treatment, your doctor should also be skilled at orthopedic surgery and minimally invasive techniques such as laser spine surgery.
The best way to find the right doctor for you is to ask around; your primary physician, friends, family, fellow patients, and the Internet can all be great sources of recommendations.

Causes and Treatment of Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by many conditions.
- Strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Trauma to the spine, including spinal fractures
- Spinal arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Spinal tumors
The majority of back pain is caused by temporary damage to the muscles, which repairs quickly; physical therapy and rest are enough to treat those issues. On the other end of the spectrum, spinal tumors are very rare and require prompt treatment by a specialist.
Routine spine conditions such as damage to the discs, vertebrae, and joints can be treated with a variety of methods depending on the severity of the condition. Usually, more conservative methods are used first. If conservative treatments fail, surgery is an option, especially when symptoms are severe. Most routine spine conditions can now be treated in an outpatient setting using minimally invasive laser spine surgery.
