EDISCSCULPTSymptoms of Chronic Pain
Acute back pain from damage to the muscles is quite common, and it can sometimes be difficult to know when to seek the help of a pain doctor. If you have one or more of the following symptoms, you should consider seeking professional treatment:
- Severe pain
- Pain that doesn't ease up, or gets worse, over time
- Pain that persists for more than 14 days
- Other symptoms such as muscle weakness, limb pain, and/or numbness in the limbs
These can all be signs of an underlying condition that requires treatment.
Back Pain Treatment
A back pain doctor can diagnose the source of the symptoms, then recommend and implement the appropriate course of treatment. Common sources of chronic back pain include arthritis, herniated discs, bulging discs, and bone spurs. For routine spine conditions, the least invasive treatments are usually attempted first, followed by surgical treatment if those fail. Common treatments are:
- Chiropractic care
- Physical therapy
- Medication
- Laser or open back surgery
In addition, certain lifestyle adjustments can help ease pain and hasten recovery. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help. In addition, patients who are clinically obese can often reduce their symptoms by losing 10% of their body weight.
In New York City, the best back pain doctor is Dr. Datta of the Datta Endoscopic Back Surgery and Pain Center. Two main features separate Dr. Datta from the average spine doctor: he has a background in pain management in addition to orthopedic medicine, and he is dedicated to using the most minimally invasive treatments to treat spine conditions. This results in a more integrated approach with better outcomes for patients.
