Back Pain
Back pain can cause instant debilitation, and can range from a consistent dull ache, to sharp, severe pain. Pain lasting an extended amount of time is usually referred to as chronic back pain. Poor posture while sitting, standing and sleeping are some of the most common causes of back pain. Other causes include lifting heavy objects, sitting in one position for a long time, a sports injury or accident, and even sudden movements.
Common symptoms of back pain are:
● Throbbing and burning
● Inability to bend and/or lift
● Weakness of limbs
● Tingling or prickling sensations
● Sharp shooting pains
All of these symptoms can be treated through regular sessions with a licensed Physical Therapist at Fast Track Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine in Utah.
