Back and neck pain can change how you sit, sleep, work, drive, exercise, or care for the people you love. Useful details include when the pain started, where it travels, which positions change it, and whether numbness, tingling, weakness, or headaches are also present.
An evaluation does not mean every patient needs the same treatment. It is an opportunity to review your history, goals, prior care, and whether non-surgical options or outside referral should be discussed.
