Neck, Back, and Spine Pain

The neck, back, and spine pain are all common diagnoses, and each area has numerous causes and contributing factors that can result in pain. Neck, back and spine pain can also be debilitating and can quickly disrupt patients’ daily lives.

Neck pain can be acute or chronic and can occur from arthritis, poor posture or, in some cases, can also be an indication of a more serious condition. Common causes of neck pain include:

Degenerative disease
Disc herniation
Injury or trauma
Muscle strain
Pinched Nerve
Tumors

Back pain is one of the most prevalent conditions, but determining the exact cause of back pain can be difficult since it can be triggered by anything from overuse and injury to smoking, obesity or disease. Additional causes of back pain include:

Arthritis
Herniated discs
Injury or trauma
Muscle strain
Osteoporosis
Spinal tumors

Since the spinal cord runs the entire length of the back, spine pain is often associated with back and neck pain, but these conditions also result in spine pain:

Myelopathy
Radiculopathy
Scoliosis
Spinal stenosis
Spinal tumors
Spine compressions
Spondylosis
