Back and neck pain are common patient complaints, and, in fact, they rarely need surgical treatment. They are usually treated with anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, or chiropractic care, and resolve within two to eight weeks. Back pain prevention is very important, and can be helped with core strengthening exercise and by maintaining a healthy weight.

You should consider a consultation with Dr. Darakchiev:
  • if the back pain is persisting and disabling or recurring
  • if the back pain is associated with a buttock pain, and radiates down the leg, known as sciatica
  • if there is a tingling sensation, numbness, or weakness of the leg or the foot
  • if there are new bowel or bladder problems
  • if the neck pain is persistent and travels to the shoulder and the arm
  • if the pain is restricting your regular activities, interfering with your lifestyle and overall well-being
