Pain Management
You Don’t Have To Live With Back Pain
Back pain. You’ve seen your parents suffer through it when you were younger. And now it’s your turn to battle it on a daily basis. Or so you think. Because as the headline suggests, you don’t have to resign yourself to a lifetime of chronic back pain. There are options available in this modern age that can have you feeling spry again. And X-Ray Associates of New Mexico has the tools and know-how to restore your back to its prime state.
Why Do I Have Back Pain In The First Place?
Back pain falls under two categories: acute and chronic. Acute back pain is temporary and is caused by daily occurrences such as slips, falls, and the lifting of heavy objects. This type of pain usually subsides in less than 6 weeks.
On the flip side, chronic back pain is much more serious and lasts for months and even years. It is a persistent type of discomfort that follows you through different stages of life.
Of course you won’t know right away what group your back pain falls under. The only thing you can find out is the cause.
And using the aid of an x-ray scan and other forms of imaging, you can find out if your back pain is the result of any one of these causes:
- Muscle or ligament strain due to heavy lifting
- Bulging or ruptured disks in the spinal area
- Arthritis
- Scoliosis
- Osteoporosis leading to compression fractures
