Whatever your back pain degree is, we are here to help. Our specialists at the Spine Center at Placentia-Linda Hospital know that whatever your level of pain is, you want to return to being pain-free with as little medical intervention as possible. We offer a full range of board certified surgeons and pain management specialists on staff who can help your back pain.
Back pain can be caused by several different symptoms including:
Mechanical problems with the spine. Conditions include intervertebral disc degeneration, spasms, muscle tension, and herniated – or ruptured – discs.
Injuries such as sprains and fractures may be caused by accidents or by twisting or lifting improperly.
Diseases such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and arthrirtis (including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis). In addition, pregnancy, endometriosis, kidney stones, and fibromyalgia can cause back pain.
Although uncommon, infections, such as osteomyelitis or discitis, and tumors can cause back pain.
A thorough examination combined, as needed, with tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, can help your doctor diagnose the cause of your back pain. We have a premier outpatient imaging center on site for any imaging services you may need.
