If back pain is preventing you from living your life to the fullest, we encourage you to visit Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group – a division of Florida Medical Clinic – to find the relief you deserve. Our practice is the longest-running in the Tampa, Florida, area and is led by two board certified physicians: orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine specialist Dr. Arnold Ramirez. Together with a team of experienced physical therapists and nurses, our physicians take a conservative approach to treatment that focuses on restoring comfort and function with as little inconvenience to the patient as possible.
Back pain can occur for several reasons. The spine supports the weight of the body and facilitates motion, leaving it susceptible to a variety of injuries and degenerative conditions. Here are a few of the most common causes of back discomfort:
- Disc injuries, such as a bulging or ruptured disc
- Degenerative disc disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Canal stenosis
- Nerve compression
- Sciatica
- The natural aging process
Several lifestyle factors can also contribute to the development of back pain, including being overweight, engaging in high-impact exercise, sitting for extended periods of time, and using tobacco.
Contact Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Murphy or Dr. Ramirez, who will carefully evaluate your symptoms, diagnose your condition, and design an individualized treatment plan to reduce your back pain and restore mobility. If you have any questions regarding your condition or treatment options, your physician will be happy to address your concerns.
