According to the CDC, 1 in 3 Americans over the age of 18 is dealing with back or neck pain. That is a big number! For those who are dealing with this pain, however, it is a horrible burden and impediment to one’s daily routine.

Our team is highly trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and caring for such pains. We will explain to you where exactly the pain is coming from, and exactly how we plan to treat it, so that you can get back to living pain-free.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States, and often goes untreated. In its simplest form, pain is just the accumulation of inflammation in the body. Back pain can originate from the physiology of the vertebrae, nerves, and intervertebral discs in the back. Some common causes of injury to these areas can be lifting heavy objects with the back, twisting and turning suddenly, or strenuous activities. This could be the result of a car accident, lifting heavy objects in the workplace every day, or even a hard fall. This can result in conditions such as entrapment syndrome, facet syndrome, lumbago, or a herniated disc. No matter the pain, our experienced BACAS team will diagnose and treat your pain effectively.
