Your spine supports the weight of your body, allows flexible movements and protects your central nervous system. Due to its importance and delicate anatomy, your back becomes more prone to injury and damage the older you get. Back pain can originate in any area of your back, neck or hips for a variety of reasons. That’s why you must get a reliable diagnosis from an experienced doctor. Only after determining the right cause of your pain can you be effectively treated. Back pain is the most common reason for doctor visits and missed days of work. The odds of you having debilitating back pain sometime in your life is a staggering 80 percent. But consider how dependent your body is on your back muscles and your spine. Mid-back pain may not be as common as lower back pain, but it still dramatically affects your life. When you can’t walk, work or exercise without pain, you can’t enjoy life. If that sharp pain in your middle back never goes away, visit Dr. Branko Skovrlj at Back Severe Pain NJ for a diagnosis. Call today for an evaluation: (732) 405-3385.
