Back, Neck, Spine

Back, neck and spine pain are something that many of us have come to believe we just have to live with. At Central Indiana Orthopedics, we work to eliminate those chronic issues so that you can live pain-free.

Back Pain

The majority of back pain symptoms stem from inflammation due to an acute injury or overuse of the muscles, joints, or tendons. Pain can also be caused by chronic or degenerative conditions.

Neck Pain

With so many of us spending our days in front of computer screens or looking down at our phones, neck pain is more common than ever. However, chronic neck pain needs to be evaluated before it can cause further damage.

Spinal Injuries

The spine is a highly complex and critical component of the human body. Since spine injuries can affect virtually any body part, there is a wide range of conditions and injuries encompassed by spine pain, represented by a wide range of symptoms. (If associated with incontinence, go to the emergency room.)

Spine conditions and injuries should be examined by a spine specialist for prompt and proper diagnosis.

For either back, neck or spine issues, make an appointment for evaluation if you experience:

• Pain that radiates from the neck to the arm/hand
• Pain that radiates from the back to the leg/foot
• Pain that increases in the back, leg or foot with standing or walking and is relieved by sitting
• Pain following heavy lifting, especially if you have osteoporosis
• Numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms or legs
• Nerve or dexterity problems in the arms and hands
• Numbness or tingling in one or both legs
• Weakness in a specific area of the leg or arm
• Sensory disturbance/sensitivity of the arms and legs
• Arm or hand clumsiness or numbness
