When Should You See a Doctor for Back Pain?

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor. But when does back pain warrant professional care? If you're experiencing any of the following, it's time to see a back pain doctor:

Signs You Need to See a Back Doctor:

  • Pain lasting more than a few days
  • Pain radiating down your leg (sciatica)
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness
  • Pain after a car accident or injury
  • Pain that disrupts sleep or daily activities

What Type of Doctor Treats Back Pain?

For most back pain conditions, a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) is the ideal first choice. Unlike general practitioners who may prescribe pain medications, doctors of chiropractic are spine experts trained to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your pain—not just mask the symptoms.
