Back pain is incredibly common, but not all back pain is harmless. Sometimes it may signal something more serious like a disc prolapse or spinal degeneration.
When to consult a spine specialist:
- Pain lasting more than 6 weeks
- Numbness or tingling in legs or feet
- Difficulty standing or walking
- Pain radiating to one or both legs
