If you hurt a joint or strain a muscle, sometimes there’s comfort in knowing that you’re not alone. If you’re dealing with low back pain, nearly 80% of American adults (at some point) know what you’re going through. Low back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that makes it difficult to move.

Low back pain can be sorted into two big categories: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain comes on suddenly after a fall or after lifting something heavy and lasts usually less than six weeks. Chronic pain often develops slowly and lasts longer than three months.

Both acute and chronic low back pain can arise from a variety of conditions. Therefore, depending on the cause of your low back pain, you might end up seeking a variety of specialists. But Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics with Dr. Jeff Hall provides all the professional specialization you need to attack your acute or chronic pain all under one roof, for patients in north Georgia and southeast Tennessee.

Some of the most common complaints patients seeking care describe include low back pain, leg pain, leg numbness or the typical sciatica-type pain. Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back into the leg, leading to pain radiating down one or both legs from the lower back. Other conditions that can cause back pain include nerve impingement (pinched nerves), slipped or herniated discs, spinal stenosis (pressure on the spinal cord and nerves) and arthritis.
