Ask-a-Doc:
Is My Back Pain Cause for Concern?

Hello, I’m Dr. Derek Snook.

Back pain and neck pain, which are sorts of pains that don’t radiate, are not necessarily worrisome signs in and of themselves. 

But, when they are associated with neurologic symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, or radiating pain, that certainly becomes a more critical issue and something more essential in terms of seeking out a surgeon’s point of view.
