TO T LIVING WITH CHRONIC NECK OR
BACK. PAIN CAN BE MISERABLE. AND
YOU MAY THINK EITHER YOU HAVE NO
CHOICE BUT TO DEAL WITH IT, OR
THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS SURGERY
. THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER
OPTIONS, THOUGH, AND TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT THAT, AND THE CAUSES
AND SOLUTIONS FOR NECK AND BACK
PAIN. WE ARE JOINED BY DR LEILA.
LEILA AT THE FOG. SORRY WELCOME
TO THE SHOW. THANK YOU, MICHELLE
. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. THANK
YOU. AND YOU SPECIALIZE IN PAIN
MANAGEMENT, PHYSICAL MEDICINE
AND REHABILITATION AND OUR
SPONSOR THE CORE INSTITUTE. SO
LET’S GET INTO IT. WHAT ARE THE
COMMON CAUSES FOR NECK AND BACK
PAIN, BACK PAIN AND NECK PAINS
ARE AMONG THE MOST COMMON, UM,
CONDITIONS AND ACTUALLY ALL OVER
THE WORLD. A LOT OF PATIENTS ARE
INVOLVED WITH THESE TWO ISSUES,
THE SPINE PAIN. AND SOMETIMES
IT’S DIFFICULT FOR THE PATIENTS
TO KNOW IF IT’S RELATED TO A
SIMPLE INJURY LIKE MUSCLE STRAIN
, OR IT’S RED RELATED TO MORE
SERIOUS STUFF. THEN THEY NEED TO
SEE A DOCTOR. UM OVERALL, THE
MOST COMMON CAUSE OF FOR BACK
PAIN OR NECK. PAIN IS MUSCLE
STRAIN, SOMETIMES RELATED TO
POOR POSTURE. BAD WAY OF A
SLEEPING, UM, IMPROPER WAY OF
LIFTING OBJECTS OR CARRYING
OBJECTS. UM USUALLY IT SHOULD
SUBSIDE WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS
, TAKING OVER THE COUNTER
MEDICATIONS ICING THE AREA USING
THE HEAT BAGS. THERE ARE OTHER
CAUSES FOR BACK PAIN, NECK PAIN.
THERE ARE MORE SERIOUS STUFF
LIKE, UM, HERNIATED DISCS, AT
LEAST, ARE LIKE JELLY CUSHIONS.
THEY SIT BETWEEN THERE WERE
CEREBRAL SPINAL, WHERE TABLES
AND IF THEY GET DEHYDRATED IF
THEY GET HERNIATED, THEY CAN
IRRITATE THE NERVES. AND PATIENT
CAN START FEELING PAIN DOWN
THEIR ARMS DOWN THE LEG OR EVEN
JUST THE BACK PAIN OR THE NECK
PAIN. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER
CAUSES FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK
PAIN, LIKE OSTEOARTHRITIS.
USUALLY IT HAPPENS WITH ALL
THEIR AGE PATIENTS ARE THEIR
CAUSES LIKE FRACTURES AFTER FALL
ANY KIND OF TRAUMA OR WHEN
PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN CAR
ACCIDENTS OR MOTOR VEHICLE
ACCIDENTS. UM ALSO, THE BEST
THING PROBABLY THEN IS TO COME
TO YOU GUYS AND FIGURE IT OUT.
NOW. WHAT IF YOU DO HAVE CHRONIC
PAIN CAN THAT IMPACT YOUR MENTAL
WELL BEING AS WELL? EXACTLY IT’S
NOT ONLY A PHYSICAL CONDITION,
BUT ALSO INVOLVES THEIR MENTAL
STATUS AS WELL. NOW THAT WE ARE
IN SUMMERTIME, PEOPLE WANT TO
ENJOY THEIR ACTIVITY. THEY WANT
TO GO OUTDOOR DO A LOT OF
DESSERT ACTIVITIES AND SOME
PATIENTS AND SOME PEOPLE, THEY
HAVE BACK PAIN, LEG PAIN, NECK
PAIN. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DO
THE ACTIVITIES AS MUCH AS THEY
LOVED ONES THAT ARE DOING AND
THEY FEEL BEGIN TO EMOTIONALLY
BEING MORE ISOLATED. AND USUALLY
BECAUSE DURING WINTERTIME, WE
ARE MORE LESS ACTIVE AND
SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT DOING AS
MUCH EXERCISES DURING WARMER
TIME. WE WANT TO INCREASE OUR
ACTIVITIES AND THEY CAN INJURED
. IT LEADS TO INJURIES FOR THE
BACK PAIN, NECK PAIN IF WE ARE
NOT WELL PREPARED AND
PREPARATION DURING WINTERTIME IS
HELPING US TO HAVE A FUN SUMMER
TIME. THAT MAKES SENSE, AND I
LIKE HOW IT’S ALL IT’S ALL
CONNECTED. ONE THING CAN’T
REALLY GO WRONG WITHOUT OTHER
THINGS BEING AFFECTED BY IT.
EXACTLY SPINE CONDITIONS USUALLY
REQUIRE SURGERY. THIS KIND OF
QUESTION A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE.
THAT’S A MISCONCEPTION, USUALLY
NOT UH, AT THE KOREAN CITY, BUT
WE HAVE WE OFFER VARIETY OF
NONSURGICAL TREATMENTS, SO WE
START WITH MEDICATION. FIRST WE
EVALUATE THE PATIENTS TO SEE
WHAT THE CAUSE OF BACK PAIN IS.
WE START WITH CONSERVATIVE
MANAGEMENT LIKE MEDICATIONS.
EXERCISES UM. INJECTIONS ANTI
INFLAMMATORY INJECTIONS TO
RELIEVE PAIN AND ALSO WE DO USE
PHYSICAL THERAPY TO IMPROVE
THEIR RANGE OF MOTION,
STRENGTHEN THEIR MUSCLES AND
PREVENTS FURTHER INJURIES TO
HELP WITH THEIR PAIN AND ALSO
INCREASED THEIR FUNCTIONS.
THAT’S AWESOME. PHYSICAL THEORY
B IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO
SURGERY. IF YOU CAN. IF YOU CAN
DO IT DEFINITELY IS THE TIME TO
CONTACT A SPECIALIST. HOW DO YOU
KNOW WHEN IT’S LIKE I NEED TO
BRING IN THE PROFESSIONALS,
USUALLY IF THE PAIN WAS NOT
SUBSIDED WITHIN COUPLE DAYS WITH
THE OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS
, ICING HEATING BAGS, AND IF
PATIENTS ARE HAVING SYMPTOMS,
LIKE, UH PAIN DOWN THE ARM PAIN
GOING DOWN THE LEGS FEELING
NUMBNESS, TINGLING AND RECENT
WEAKNESS ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR
BULB BLADDER. THIS KIND OF STUFF
, UM, IF THEY HAD ANY TRAUMA,
AND THE PAIN HASN’T SUBSIDED,
IT’S TIME TO GET CHECKED BY ONE
OF THE FINEST SPECIALISTS AND,
