Anyone can experience physical pain, but every person perceives pain differently and their tolerance varies. Some may experience extreme pain and some may feel lesser pain from the same condition. This is the reason why pain, at times, is difficult to diagnose - it is a subjective feeling. Suffering from any type of pain for more than 6 months needs professional intervention, which would help you to obtain an effective treatment plan.
A pain management doctor specializes in the prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of people suffering from pain. Pain is a symptom which can be caused by a number of injuries and conditions. When pain is experienced for at least 6 months, it is considered to be chronic. Therefore, it is important to visit a certified pain clinic to be diagnosed properly.
Depending on what type of symptoms you may be experiencing, the following conditions may be the main cause of your pain:
Our lower back is a remarkable structure that is composed of interconnecting bones, joints, nerves, ligaments and muscles. All those structures are working together to provide strength, support and flexibility. However, since lower back supports the upper body, it is put under immense amount of stress, making it susceptible to injury, pain and degeneration.
Causes of lower back pain:
Spinal stenosis is a common disease that affects many elderly Americans. It occurs when the small spinal canal, at which the spinal cord nerve roots lay, becomes compressed. This compression causes pinching in the spinal cord, which will result in pain, weakness, cramping or numbness. Depending on which specific area of the body is narrowing, you can experience these symptoms in the neck, shoulders or arms, lower back or legs.
Causes of spinal stenosis:
Whiplash is a neck injury that is a common result of a car collision, sports injury, physical abuse or other types of trauma. It occurs when the neck experiences a forceful, fast back-and-forth movement of the neck. The sudden movement of the neck damages the muscles and ligaments that support the neck and upper back.
If you have experienced a traumatic injury from an accident, it is important to seek immediate medical help. This will ensure that no inflammation or damage occurred to your soft tissues or spinal cord.
Causes of whiplash:
Fibromyalgia is characterized as an extensive musculoskeletal pain that is sharp, stabbing and burning in nature. It is caused by a disorder in the way the body identifies pain signals.
Most commonly the symptoms begin with widespread pain for at least three months, fatigue and cognitive difficulties.
