Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Back pain: At your age, most patients have back pain caused by benign conditions such as early degenerative disc, soft tissue inflammation, deconditioning, etc. The good news is that conservative treatment is usually very effective - physical therapy, exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, improved diet.
