Types of Back and Neck Pain
Everyone’s pain and symptoms are different. Without a proper evaluation, we can’t determine your specific type of pain. However, we can help you better understand the most traditional types of pain associated with neck and back health issues listed below.
Cervical
Cervical pain (neck, shoulders, and arms) is often described as sharp, burning, or radiating and usually originates from the center of the neck. When pain radiates down the arms, causing weakness or a tingling sensation, it’s typically associated with radiculopathy — pain resulting from one or more pinched nerves. Treatment options for this type of pain typically include medication, pain-relieving injections, and a variety of physical therapy techniques. Surgery is rarely required, and you can rely on the team of experts at Spine Team Texas to explore all non-surgical options before considering minimally invasive surgical treatments.
Thoracic
Pain in this area is commonly described as sharp, burning, or radiating. Thoracic pain (mid back, chest, and abdomen) sometimes radiates to the chest or abdomen. This is typically associated with radiculopathy, resulting in feelings of weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations caused by a pinched nerve. The treatment options for this area of pain may include medication, pain-relieving injections, and a variety of physical therapy techniques. Surgery is rarely required, and you can rely on the team of experts at Spine Team Texas to explore all non-surgical options before considering minimally invasive surgical treatments.
Lumbar
Pain in this area (low back)
is commonly described as stabbing, sharp, achy, or burning. The treatment options for this area of pain may include anti-inflammatory medications, customized physical therapy typically lasting 4-6 weeks, and if necessary, a short course of pain-relieving injections. Surgery is rarely required, and you can rely on the team of experts at Spine Team Texas to explore all non-surgical options before considering minimally invasive surgical treatments.
Sacral
Pain in this area (hip and legs)
is commonly described as stabbing, sharp, achy, electric, or having a burning character. Pain radiating down the legs is typically caused by a pinched nerve. The treatment options for this area of pain typically include anti-inflammatory medications and a customized course of physical therapy typically lasting 4-6 weeks. Surgery is rarely required, and you can rely on the team of experts at Spine Team Texas to explore all non-surgical options before considering minimally invasive surgical treatments.
