Where Can I Find a Reliable Back and Spine Doctor

Back pain is an extremely common medical complaint, with the majority of Americans experiencing at least transient back pain at one point or another. Back pain can go on to affect almost all other aspects of a person's health and quality of life, so it's important to find a reliable back and spine doctor at the outset.

Spine Basics

The spine is composed of three main structures:
  • The vertebrae are the bones that make up the spine, and "stack" to facilitate movement
  • The discs are cartilage-based, and they help cushion the vertebrae from one another
  • The spinal cord contains many nerves, which transmit signals to and from the brain
Damage to any of these structures can cause back pain. In addition, most temporary back pain is caused by muscle strain, which resolves on its own within a few days.

The exact course of treatment depends heavily on the type of condition causing the pain, and the nature of the symptoms. The symptoms of many common spine conditions can mirror one another, and may resemble potentially serious conditions, which is why diagnosis must be done as soon as possible. After diagnosis, the treatment plan should take into account the severity of the patient's symptoms, the availability of cutting-edge treatment options, and the principles that drive the discipline of pain management. A doctor who lacks competency in any of these areas will not give effective treatment.
