In the United States, one of the most frequent reasons for visiting a doctor is due to back pain. There are many reasons and possible causes for the pain, severity, and injury one may experience concerning the back and spine. As one of the most critical components of the skeletal and muscular system, your spine and back can cause you severe pain if there is an injury to the area. When injured or experiencing pain, some people avoid seeing a spine surgeon or back doctor for fear of needing surgery and the challenges it may bring.

However, there are different treatment options to consider when consulting with an experienced Long Branch back pain specialist. At NJ Spine & Orthopedic clinic, our skilled team understands the hesitation some patients may experience when seeking treatment for pain. Our expert back doctor and spine surgeon performs thorough evaluations at our clinic and helps you consider the best options for treatment, whether non-invasive or minimally invasive services at our office.

 

The Prevalence of Back Pain and Injuries

Across the globe, back pain is the most common cause of disability. Additionally, most back pain episodes and pain cases are not caused by conditions such as arthritis, fractures, or cancer, but are most often due to mechanical reasons. While many people recover well from short term injuries and back pain conditions, many people develop chronic back pain and live with recurring episodes. Understanding the possible causes of back pain and how they are best treated is the start to beginning a pain-free lifestyle.

A recent study determined that chronic back pain is more prevalent among women, and lower back pain prevalence increases linearly until sixty years of age. Living with pain creates barriers for many in their daily life. Missing work days, taking medication, seeking medical advice, fearing injury, and other areas of a person’s life are affected when they live with back pain. While there is a high prevalence of back pain in the United States, many people find relief after an expert evaluation and treatment plan with a skilled spine specialist.

 

Most Common Causes of Spine and Back Pain

Back pain has no specific origin, but it is often attributed to accidents, severe injuries, and linked to medical conditions for many individuals across various age groups. Finding the cause of your pain or what it may be attributed to can help you find a solution and start an effective treatment option that will lead you to a pain-free lifestyle. A spine surgeon and back doctor is skilled in helping patients after many accidents, spinal injuries, and through the progression of different medical conditions they may be experiencing.

Accidents and injuries that may be attributed to back pain include:

  • Car accidents
  • Sprains and strains
  • Injuries while at work
  • Slip and fall injuries
  • Sudden movements, twists, or turns
  • Any vigorous work or activity
  • Other possible injuries and accidents

Medical conditions and ailments that may be linked to back pain include:

  • Disc herniations
  • Arthritis
  • Spine tumors
  • Infections and cancer
  • Obesity and excessive weight gain
  • Fractures or broken bones
  • Muscle sprain or strains
  • Structural spine problems
  • Other types of conditions and ailments

Injured people are often able to describe their pain and explain an action or event that initiated an injury. As pain progresses, many people often wait to be treated until their pain is unbearable. If you have experienced any accident, injury, medical condition, or are experiencing back pain that started unexpectedly, you should not delay an evaluation. Many treatment options are available, regardless of your previous experiences with other physicians or evaluations. Many previous patients at our clinics live a stress-free and pain-free lifestyle because of the success of using our services.

It is important to seek a thorough evaluation at our clinic. Due to every patient’s unique nature and needs, our surgeons are experts in evaluating reports, imaging, medical records, and creating a personalized treatment plan that accommodates all that our patients need.

Non-invasive Treatments

Pain may present itself differently for each patient, and many find relief through non-invasive treatment options that target specific needs. These options may include chiropractic treatments, physical therapy sessions, medications, using back braces, or considering epidural steroid injections. Regardless of your medical history and previous evaluations, our surgeon will examine all the necessary components to help you achieve pain relief. Our consultations help many patients share their experiences and communicate their needs with an expert back doctor with a free MRI review.

Minimally Invasive Options

If you have suffered back pain for many years, or have endured a chronic state of back pain, you may consider minimally invasive surgery techniques. There are many benefits and long-term solutions when choosing general surgery, and many options are minimally invasive. Surgical treatments such as a discectomy, arthroscopy, laser spine surgery, disc replacements, and other treatment opportunities target the specific needs of many patients. Our gentle and understanding surgeons guide you through the entire process, and can ensure a positive experience when entrusting NJ Spine & Orthopedic with your surgical needs.
