Back Pain
Understanding Back Pain: Symptoms, Causes, and Advanced Treatment
According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, 75–85% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives, and nearly half of them will suffer recurring episodes within the same year. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare experts are warning of a potential “back pain pandemic” fueled by remote work, prolonged sitting, poor posture, and lack of physical activity. These modern lifestyle factors are significantly increasing the risk of chronic spine and joint issues, highlighting the urgent need for preventive care and non-surgical treatment options.
Back Pain Symptoms
Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical care, and it can occur suddenly or develop gradually over time.
It may affect any part of the spine, from the neck down to the lower back, hips, and buttocks. Common symptoms include:
Limited flexibility and range of motion
Muscle aches or spasms localized to specific areas
Persistent dull pain in the lower back
Difficulty standing upright
Sharp, stabbing, or radiating pain—often down one or both legs
Common Causes of Back Pain
At Premier Pain & Rehab CTR, PC in New Brunswick, NJ, we understand that back pain can have a wide range of underlying causes, such as:
Muscle strains from lifting, repetitive movements, or overuse
Spinal disc injuries, including herniated discs, disc bulges, and annular tears
Arthritis or spinal stenosis, typically from age-related joint degeneration
Osteoporosis, which can lead to vertebral compression fractures
Our Minimally Invasive Approach to Lasting Back Pain Relief
While some back pain may improve with home care, persistent or worsening pain that interferes with daily activities should be evaluated by a specialist. We provide non-surgical and minimally invasive spine and joint treatments to address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Minimally invasive procedures reduce the risks associated with open surgery, including infection, scarring, and prolonged downtime. Most patients benefit from faster recovery, less post-treatment discomfort, and no hospital stays.
