  1. Your Health First: Houston Spine and Wellness Clinic When life gets hectic, many people don’t really think about their health. But if you’re experiencing severe back pain, do not ignore it. Over 300,000 spine surgeries occur each year in the US alone, often for cases where pain radiates to the arms, legs, or chest. When should you see a Houston spine and wellness doctor? If your pain persists despite rest or basic treatments, it’s time to consult a Houston spine and wellness specialist. They can help identify the cause and recommend the best course of action—whether it's non-surgical treatment or, in some cases, surgery. Be sure to see a doctor if: ● You have difficulty maintaining normal posture due to stiffness or pain ● You feel muscle spasms during rest or activity ● Your pain has lasted for 10 days or longer ● You are experiencing significant loss of motor skills, such as trouble tiptoeing or walking on heels Herniated disc symptoms Another condition that can cause back pain is a herniated disc, which happens when the jelly- like substance in the spinal discs that cushion our vertebrae leaks. The impact of a herniated disc depends on where it is located and how big it is. If it doesn't press on a nerve, there might be back pain or no pain at all. However, if it presses on a nerve, this can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the linked part of the body. Usually, a herniated disc starts with back pain, sometimes following a history of pain that comes and goes. Lumbar spine symptoms Sciatica often comes from a disc in the lower back pressing on a nerve. This can cause pain, tingling, or numbness from the lower back down to the leg and foot, usually on one side. The pain is sometimes sharp and feels like an electric shock, which becomes worse when standing, walking, or sitting.

  2. Cervical spine (neck) symptoms Symptoms can involve either a dull ache or sharp pain in the neck or between the shoulder blades. This pain might spread through the arm, reaching the hand or fingers. At times, the shoulder or arm can feel numb or tingly. Certain neck positions or movements might make the pain worse. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek professional help from aHouston spine and wellness doctor.
