Consistent back pain should not be ignored. Common causes of serious back pain can vary from strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments to osteoarthritis or even spinal stenosis. If your back pain lasts for longer than a week or if you have had an accident that may have caused a spine injury, you should contact a back specialist immediately.
As one of the more acclaimed spine surgeons on the east coast, Dr. Leipzig is an expert on serious back conditions, including ruptured or herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, and arthritis. Be mindful of numbness or tingling sensations also that may coincide with an advanced back injury.
Maintaining physical fitness, watching your weight, and practicing proper posture can help you avoid less serious back injuries, but if you are worried that you may be suffering from a more serious back issue, please make an appointment with the qualified back doctors at Virginia Spine Care today.
