Who Is at Risk of Back & Neck Pain?

Your back is a complex network of bones, muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels, making it vulnerable to strain, sprains, or other injuries. Anyone can experience neck or back pain, but there are risk factors that raise your chances of developing these issues.

You can have a higher-than-average risk of back or neck pain if you:

  • Are over 40
  • Live a sedentary lifestyle
  • Smoke
  • Use improper lifting techniques
  • Are overweight or obese
  • Have arthritis or certain types of cancer
  • Are prone to anxiety and/or depression

If you're experiencing pain in your back, shoulders, arms, or legs, let our team at Commonwealth Pain & Spine help you find the root cause and start managing your pain effectively!

What Can Be Done to Treat Back & Neck Pain?

Depending on the cause of your discomfort, such as injury, arthritis, skeletal issues, disc problems, osteoporosis, nerve damage, or muscle strain, there are various treatment options available. Some possible management solutions include:

  • Medication: Muscle relaxants, narcotics, and some antidepressants can manage pain, but we believe in minimizing dependence on these.
  • Physical Therapy: By strengthening specific muscles, you can fortify your back and neck, helping prevent some types of back pain.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: Anti-inflammatory medication is injected into the affected joint or epidural space to target the source directly.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation: A procedure that uses heat to disrupt pain signals from the affected nerves to the brain.
  • Spinal Cord Stimulation: A device is implanted to send electrical pulses to the spinal cord, modifying pain signals before they reach the brain.

To explore these and other treatments in greater detail, work with to find the most effective mix of solutions for your neck or back pain management needs.
