Back Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Back pain is a very common discomfort that can be felt in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar area, with varying intensity and duration depending on its origin.
How it presents: It can be a stabbing pain, a feeling of stiffness, or a continuous discomfort, sometimes related to movement, posture, or exertion.
Frequent causes: It is usually linked to muscle overload, poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle, or tension, although it can also have other origins.
When is a checkup worthwhile? If the pain is severe, persists, or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is time to have it evaluated. The physical therapist and chiropractic professionals work on function and movement, and the sports medicine physician provides guidance when it is related to physical activity. A professional evaluation helps understand the cause and take care of your back.
