Causes of Back Pain
Back pain is generally classified into upper and lower back pain. It can range in severity from mild aches to debilitating pain, and it can be chronic or acute. Chronic back pain is almost always the result of an underlying condition or untreated injury, such as degenerative disc disease, arthritis, or scoliosis. We treat all of these conditions and many others at our clinic as well. Acute pain, on the other hand, is most often caused by injury. Work injuries, sports injuries, and auto injuries, such as slipped discs, sprains, fractures, and others, can lead to the sudden onset of pain in the upper or lower back. Poor postural alignment is a huge factor is most back pain. When the joints aren't in their optimal positions, they wear in ways they're not supposed to.
When you visit Dr. Santiago, he'll identify the cause of your back pain and provide you with the best back pain treatments we have to offer.
