September is Pain Awareness Month, a reminder that chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans. Musculoskeletal pain in the muscles, joints, tendons, or bones can make simple things like walking, lifting, or sitting uncomfortable. Nearly half of those living with chronic pain say it limits their daily activities.
Neck and back pain can be tricky to diagnose, can take time to treat, and all the while can cause a great deal of discomfort.
Often, it’s difficult to know where to turn for the right care for your pain. There are a range of different professionals who address neck and back pain, including chiropractors, rehabilitation doctors, interventional pain management physicians, and spine surgeons. All of them take a systematic approach to best restore your health, but all approach the problem in a different way.
