Back pain is the second most common type of pain experienced in the United States, after headache. Some causes of back pain include, but are not limited to, injuries to the spine, degeneration of the discs located between the vertebrae of the spine as they break down with age, a pinched nerve, muscle tension, etc. Back pain can also be caused by muscle or ligament strains from heavy lifting, making sudden movements, or awkward sleeping positions. Pulled muscles, tendons, and ligaments can cause tightness in the back and painful muscle spasms. When back pain becomes disabling and interferes with your everyday life, TMD offers expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment via our virtual Telehealth platform. Back pain can often be treated with a combination of medications and physical therapy. Book a virtual consultation with a TMD TeleMED Provider to discuss your symptoms and get treatment for Insomnia!
