Understanding Who Might Be Affected by Back & Neck Pain

The complexity of your back, with its intricate system of bones, muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels, makes it susceptible to various injuries and strains. While anyone can experience discomfort in the neck or back, certain factors may increase your risk:

  • Age: Individuals over 40 are more prone to these issues.
  • Lifestyle: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to pain.
  • Smoking: Tobacco use is a known risk factor for back and neck pain.
  • Improper lifting techniques.
  • Weight: Being overweight can add additional stress to the back.
  • Medical conditions: Arthritis or certain cancers can increase vulnerability.
  • Mental health: Anxiety and depression may exacerbate pain.

If you are experiencing discomfort in your back, shoulders, arms, or legs, our team at Commonwealth Physical Therapy is here to help identify the underlying issues and manage your pain effectively. 

Effective Treatments for Back & Neck Pain

Understanding the root cause of your pain is essential in determining the best course of action. Whether it's due to injury, arthritis, skeletal problems, disc issues, osteoporosis, nerve damage, or muscle strain, a variety of treatments are available:

  • Medication: While muscle relaxants, narcotics, and some antidepressants can offer relief, our focus is on reducing reliance on these medications.
  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening targeted muscles can help stabilize your back and neck, reducing the likelihood of recurring pain.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source, providing targeted relief.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation: This minimally invasive procedure uses heat to interrupt pain signals from the affected nerves.
  • Spinal Cord Stimulation: By implanting a device, we can alter pain signals before they reach your brain, offering significant relief.

To delve deeper into these and other potential treatments, our skilled professionals will work with you to find the most effective combination for managing your neck or back pain.
