Many patients will have to deal with some backaches, back pain pain or other spine injuries over the years. Some severe pain will require the doctor or another specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. If you have pain in your back, knee, ankle, or other body part, who m should you turn to for help?We're often taught to go to the top of the diagnostic chain, the orthopedist. But the truth is that most orthopedic surgeons, unless they [have some particular interest or specialty], don't want to see patients unless it's a surgical case. Otherwise, it's just evaluating and referring out. A good manual therapist who will refer out when it's necessary-whether a chiropractor, a physical therapist, or an internist who works with manual therapy—is a good port of entry.But some of the indications to see an orthopedist [first] include tingling and numbness, an extremity with swelling or redness, edema, or pain in the area that really limits your range of motion. And anything that's a result of an acute injury should be checked out.

Choosing a doctor is often one of the most difficult parts of dealing with an back pain . A recent study published in the medical journal Neurology examined the relation between analgesic use (this includes over the counter medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen and Tylenol, as well as the stronger medications such as Vioxx, Celebrex, Ultram, Vicoden, etc.) taken on a regular basis, from daily to weekly over an extended period of time. The study included 32,067 adults, which is a very good sample. They followed those individuals for 11 years, and found a significantly increased risk for chronic pain in those people who just took analgesics for pain. They found that people with headaches, neck pain, lower back pain, and other joint pain, tended to just take analgesics assuming that nothing can be done for their pain. Usually, this is because they have only sought medical care for these problems. Most of the time, there is no medical solution for these problems.
