Specializes in Family Medicine

Back pain: Back pain that is of concern, needing emergent or urgent care, if associated with neurological deficit. Factors that are of concern too include: fever, weight loss, steroid use. Troubles urinating or having a bowel movement. Being overweight makes back problems more likely. Weight loss, and back exercises are helpful to relieve and eliminate chronic back problems.
