Back problems need to be separated into two groups:
Back Pain….and….Spinal Conditions!
These are actually 2 different issues, and must be addressed as such. The trick is being able to figure out the difference between them. Symptoms can vary widely with lower back pain, for example, here are just a few:
- Numbness in the legs
- Tingling in the legs
- Pain in the legs without associated pain in the actual lower back
- Pain which occurs with specific postures or positions
- Different sensations of pain such as stabbing, throbbing, heat, shooting, dull ache
- Pain that tends to move in location
These are all CRITICAL back pain symptoms that can reveal clues as to what kind of back pain you are experiencing, and thus HOW to address it!
