Around 80% of us will spend some time flat
on our back because of back pain--making it one of America's major health
problems. It is also a problem that is generally misunderstood.
Back pain is deceiving. What might feel
like a strained muscle may actually be a ruptured disc or a mechanical joint
problem. The fact is, you can't tell what's wrong with your back by the pain.
That's why so many people get into trouble. They think they're treating one
problem when they might be aggravating what is actually wrong. The
result--they end up with a much more serious problem than they started out
with.
Our Spine Care specialist, Dr. Ekstrom,
provides a number of surgical and non-surgical treatments for back and neck
pain. He offers a wide range of treatments for back or neck pain,
including rehabilitation, injections, and surgery.
Dr. Ekstrom is a great listener and takes
the time to help you decide what's the best option for treating your pain.
