Problems such as poor posture, injury, and wear and tear can lead to spine pain.

Acute pain usually gets better in one to two weeks. Pain related to disc disease, arthritis in the spinal joints, or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) can become chronic and last for months or years. Pain can also result from other serious injuries, such as a vertebral fracture or ruptured disc; from arthritis and other age-related changes in your spine; and from certain infections.

M Health Fairview care providers can offer you some of the most advanced treatments to relieve pain and improve your quality of life.
