Back pain is an extraordinarily common problem for adults in Tampa, Florida, and throughout the country. Many people are able to relieve their symptoms with periodic rest, gentle stretching, and over-the-counter pain medications, but not all. If your back discomfort persists despite self-care measures, consider scheduling an appointment with an orthopedic physician who can evaluate and treat the source of your pain.

The spine is a remarkably complex structure that bears the weight of the body and facilitates motion.  Because of its key role in everyday actions, it is highly susceptible to conditions such as herniated discs and nerve compression, as well as degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis. Furthermore, there are several factors that can influence an individual’s risk of experiencing back pain, including weight, participation in high-impact activities, and family medical history.
