Don’t wait too long
Walking around with back pain for too long can only make it more difficult to treat the back pain. Often, the following applies: the faster you are in the doctor’s office, the better. Always consult your doctor sooner rather than later if you suffer from back problems.
Types of back pain
Back pain can be divided into two categories: specific and non-specific. In the first category, back complaints are caused by back injury, such as damage to the spine, the nerves that run along the spine or the muscles in the back. Specific back pain can be determined in 1 to 5 percent of patients, because there is a specific cause for the pain. This can be a hernia, a collapsed or fractured vertebra due to osteoporosis, Bechterew’s disease, a tumor or an inflammation of the vertebrae and osteoarthritis.
