Most back and neck pain gets given time first, and often that works. The patients Dr. Atzmon sees are the ones where it did not: the ache that keeps returning, the stiff morning that became every morning, the flare that used to need a reason and now does not.
That pattern has causes worth identifying, and it responds to treatment without drugs or surgery.
Rarely one thing, and that is why guessing at it from home tends to stall. The diagnoses Dr. Atzmon sees most often are:
These call for different treatment, so the first visit is spent finding out which one you have rather than treating all of them at once.
Because you have been protecting the sore side for months without noticing. The body shifts load away from what hurts, and the places that absorb that load eventually complain too.
Most patients read the spread as the problem getting worse. Usually it is compensation, which is a different clinical story with a different fix, and it is the reason treating only the newest sore spot tends not to hold.
With the examination first, then the technique the finding calls for: spinal adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, corrective exercise, interferential electrical stimulation, spinal decompression, and where a disc is under load, a fitted medical back brace.
He also looks at how you actually sit, lift, and work, because the position you hold for eight hours a day is usually part of why the pain keeps coming back.
