Symptoms
Back pain: one of the most common reasons for visiting a doctor. It can be acute or constant, worsening with movement, sitting for a long time or after sleep. If your back has been hurting for several months, it is important to understand the cause, and not just relieve the symptoms. During the consultation, we analyze the nature of the pain, its connection with lifestyle and available examinations.
Common causes: musculofascial syndromes, degenerative changes in the spine, poor posture, consequences of injury or overload. Pain in the thoracic region, between the shoulder blades, or a combination of pain in the neck and back is often associated with muscle tension and static load. Sometimes pain requires careful neurological diagnosis.
Consult if the pain persists for more than 1-2 weeks, worsens at night, is accompanied by numbness, weakness in the legs, interferes with sitting or straightening, and limits daily activities.
Passport, MRI/CT/X-ray results (if any), extracts and reports from other doctors, list of medications taken.
