Back Pain
Back pain affects everyone at some point in time. Thankfully, it is usually not serious and clears up within a few days. However, when the pain lingers, it can be the cause of a more serious condition.
What is back pain:
Back pain is very common and if left untreated can be concerning and affect your daily life. Back pain can be caused by numerous things. The most common include: ruptured discs, arthritis, spinal stenosis, myofascial pain syndrome. If you are feeling pain in your back that lasts longer than 3 months, this is considered chronic back pain.
Customized Treatment Plans
Fortunately, there are healthcare professionals who dedicate their entire careers to diagnosing, treating, and preventing back pain. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, treatment will vary from each individual to the next.
What Are the Symptoms of Back Pain?
- Dull, aching pain anywhere along the spine
- Sharp, restricted pain along the spine
- Pain that becomes worse with movement
- Unable to stand straight without having pain
Headaches and Migraines Treatment
A headache is the symptom of any pain or discomfort found in the face or head area and affects over 1 billion people worldwide. Talk to your healthcare provider about different treatment options when you can’t find relief from over-the-counter medications.
Types of Headaches
There are more than 200 types of headaches. They are broadly classified into two groups, primary and secondary. Ninety percent of headaches are primary, the most common being migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches.
Migraines
Migraines typically present with pulsing head pain, nausea, and photophobia (sensitivity to light), and phonophobia
(sensitivity to sound). Other characteristics could also include nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
Tension-Type Headaches
Tension-type headaches usually present pressure on both sides of the head and typically not accompanied by other
symptoms. The pain usually radiates from the lower back of the head, the neck, eyes, and other muscle groups in the body.
Cluster Headaches
Less common than the previous two, cluster headaches are a disorder characterized by recurrent severe headaches on one side of the head, typically around the eyes. This is often
accompanied by eye watering, nasal congestion, and similarly to a migraine, photophobia and phonophobia can also be present.
Personalized Treatment Options Can Include:
- Prescription Medication
- Acupuncture
- Stress Management Techniques
- Occipital Nerve Blocks
