Acute Back Pain

Acute back pain is a brief episode of pain that appears suddenly and usually lasts a week or month. The pain is a normal response of the body to injury or tissue damage and gradually recedes as the body heals. Acute back pain has an identifiable cause and if left untreated, it will turn into chronic pain with significant variation among people with similar conditions.

Spinal conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylitis, fibromyalgia and slipped discs can cause ongoing acute back pain. The biggest struggle of patients with spinal disorder is the unresponsiveness to initial treatments because it requires a thorough diagnostic examination.

KKT Consultants execute a detailed physical evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the pain and then develop an individualized treatment plan.
Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their lives and is the most frequent reasons for which people see their medical professionals. It usually feels like an ache, tension or stiffness in the back. Spine and Back pain can be triggered by bad posture while sitting or standing, bending awkwardly, or lifting incorrectly.

Time to seek medical advice

Even though back pain is very common, it should always be taken seriously. Many times, the conditions described above don’t have any symptoms or can present with only mild ones. However, if it has been quite some time since you’ve first felt persistent back pain, as mild as it is, you should visit your doctor. Just like with every condition, if not treated early, you are at a huge risk of developing complications.

Back Pain Diagnosis

If you notice numbness, tingling, weakness in your groin, or limbs, pain that travels downward along your leg or pain that increases when you cough or bend forward, call your doctor.

The Canadian Certified KKT Orthopedic Surgeons recommend that being inactive for long periods is bad for your back. Moderate activity, such as walking or doing routine tasks, will help you in early recovery of the disease. A positive state of mind also plays a significant role in healing. Although it may be a bit difficult to be cheerful if you are in pain, researchers have shown that people who remain positive tend to recover earlier than those who get depressed.

KKT Orthopedic Spine Treatment is a highly successful non-surgical way of treating back and neck pain. It gently and painlessly realigns the asymmetrical spine back to its normal position and thus eliminates the pains at various levels of the spine.
