    Back Pain – Your Type

    Acute: If the pain you experience in your back lasts only in short period of time – from a few days to a couple of weeks – then yours may be what is called an acute type of back pain. Acute back pain is usually caused by a trauma to the back, such as injuries to the bony elements and soft tissues of your back. This type is one that has been known to be a very sharp pain, usually felt deep in the lower back, and on a clear cut portion – like the left side, right side, center, etc.

    Chronic: If it's one that lasts for a longer period as a couple of months or a paint that recurs – then it may be a incessant type of back pain. Chronic back pain may have resulted from arthritis, nerve undermine or probably from a previous injury. Patients for this type of back pain will usually experience numbness and a burning sensation from the back down to one’s legs. Also, the legs will feel what is usually called a pins-and-needles type of pain.

    Neuropathic: Previously placed under the incessant category, but due to dissimilar feel of the pain, which has been described by patients as severe, stabbing, lightning-like, etc – have paved the technique for this third type of back pain. In this clear cut case, the signs of the original injury are no longer seen, but certain nerves continue to tell the brain that there is still pain. The pain may be felt along the nerve path from the spine to the arms or legs.


    Whatever your type of back pain is, it's best to refer this to your family doctor to know the severity of your back problem, and the clear cut tests you may have to go through. Having your case referred initially to your physician, will give you a wonderful guide on your technique to go; and of course, you will benefit from the professional advice given with regards to the proper care of your back.
