Back Pain Doctors

Back pain usually occurs in the lower back. Your back pain doctor may note that your condition may be aggravated with movement, or may radiate into the upper or lower extremities. Patients may also have limited range of motion and/or tenderness upon touch. Certain red flags indicate a more serious condition that may require emergency evaluation or surgery, including weakness, numbness or tingling, fever, weight loss or problems with bowel and/or bladder control. Generally back pain can be attributed to mechanical causes, most of which are relatively benign, although a small number of cases are due to more serious illness.
