Back Pain Q & A

What symptoms are linked to back pain?

Back pain can be dull, aching, sharp, or stabbing. Your pain may be located in your upper back, near your shoulders, midback, or lumbar area. There may be spread to your buttocks, hips or into your legs. 

People who struggle with back pain often have trouble standing or walking. Sitting can be uncomfortable, especially if your job requires you to remain in a seated position for extended periods. Over time, back pain may affect your ability to perform household activities, enjoy time with your family, play sports, exercise, or tolerate work.

During your consultation, Dr. Grossinger accumulates and analyzes information including your symptoms, diet, job, sleep, stresses, medical history, prior injury, and lifestyle. Dr. Grossinger uses this information to determine what's causing your pain.
