WHAT CAUSES LOW BACK PAIN?

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us. It is often caused by a strained muscle or ligament from lifting, bending, yard work or a long round of golf, and many times there is no single clear cause. Less often, it comes from an injured disc, degenerative joint or an irritated nerve.

Most back pain gets better within a few weeks, though it can last longer or come back. Staying active and keeping up your normal routine usually helps more than resting in bed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does low back pain last?
It usually gets better within a few weeks, but it can last longer or come back. We check your progress at every visit and change the plan, or refer you, if you are not improving.
Should I use ice or heat?
Ice works best for new or acute injuries. Heat helps with subacute and chronic conditions.
Should I rest in bed?
Generally no. Staying active and keeping up your daily routine tends to help. Walking and gentle stretching are good places to start.
Do I need an X-ray?
Based on the history and examination, we will determine if an X-ray is necessary. If you need X-rays, we refer you to an imaging center.
