Spine pain, also known as back pain, is one of the main reasons people miss work and/or visit the doctor. Your spine contains a complex network of vertebrae, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These structures experience wear-and-tear every day and help you stand, walk, run, and climb stairs.
Though incredibly tough, your spine isn’t immune from injury or disease. Most cases of spine pain resolve on their own with rest and conservative measures of care. However, if your pain persists for more than a week, or it prevents you from participating in your usual routine, it’s important to seek medical treatment right away.
The symptoms of spine pain vary from person to person and depend on the underlying cause. Common telltale signs of spine pain include:
If you’re experiencing spine pain, you might also find it difficult to walk or exercise.
The team at Houston Spine & Rehabilitation Centers regularly treats spine pain caused by several factors, including:

Skeletal deformities like scoliosis and kyphosis cause your spine to curve at an unusual angle. This puts additional pressure on the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves, affecting your mobility and quality of life.
Treatment for spine pain depends on the source and severity of your symptoms.
Whenever possible, the team at Houston Spine & Rehabilitation Centers uses conservative, integrative measures of care. Following a physical exam and review of your medical history, they might recommend:
If these treatments don’t ease your symptoms, the team might recommend surgical intervention. They regularly partner with expert surgeons in the area to conduct traditional open and minimally invasive operations.
