Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Back burning: A ligamentous injury is usually related to significant trauma. With a normal MRI the problem is usually related to poor posture and mechanical back pain with burning muscular pain. A good neutral spine core stability exercise program and proper posture principles while sitting sound help greatly.
