Pain Can Linger as a Result

Spine specialists have the most difficulty when diagnosing and treating axial low back pain. This type of pain is in the lower back only and does not radiate to a leg. The reason this can be difficult is that there are so many possible causes – disc, bone, muscle, or ligaments problems. This can make it difficult to pinpoint the real issue. In these cases a barrage of tests may be required like those talked about in the chapter called What Test Needs To Be Perform For Back And Neck Pain? . Often times injections and different therapies are done on a trial and error basis that can end up wasting a lot of time.
