Back Pain

Dennis Minotti, DO

Back pain can range from mild discomfort that is tiring to acute pain that is debilitating. Sometimes a minor strain can cause more pain than expected and take longer to heal than an outright injury.

Pain doesn't always develop immediately following an injury because the body is very good at adapting to strains and stress. However, the injured area will cause strain to build up over time and eventually symptoms will develop. That's why injuries from the past can still cause current pain: the body has reached its limit!
