If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, you should consult a spine specialist:
1) Has your low back pain extended down your leg? 2) Does your leg pain increase if you lift your knee to your chest or bend over? 3) Have you had severe back pain following a recent fall? 4) Have you had significant back pain lasting for more than 3 weeks? 5) Have you had back pain that becomes worse when you rest, or wakes you up at night? 6) Do you have persistent bladder or bowel problems? 7) Do you get numbness or weakness in your legs while walking?
If you have back pain don't put off treatment any longer, contact the spine care specialist at The Spine Institute.
