At NJ Sports Spine & Wellness, we offer comprehensive back pain management programs that are designed to help patients overcome their pain and improve their quality of life.
Symptoms Of Back Pain
The symptoms of back pain can vary depending on the cause and severity of the pain. Some common symptoms of back pain include:

- Limited flexibility or range of motion in the back
- Tingling or numbness in the legs or feet

Causes Of Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by a wide range of factors, including:
- Poor Posture: poor posture can put unnecessary stress on your back muscles and spine, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Muscle Strain And Trauma/Injury: overuse, repetitive motions, and sudden movements can cause muscle strain and spasms, which can lead to back pain.
- Spinal Conditions: spinal conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis can cause back pain.
- Osteoporosis: osteoporosis is a condition that causes your bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures in your spine and other bones.
- Stress: stress can cause muscle tension and pain, leading to back pain.
