Where Are Your Symptoms?
The symptoms of acute (sudden) and chronic (longer than 3 months) back pain are similar, however the difference is the amount of time you allow the condition to go untreated. Acute symptoms usually indicate that there is one of many underlying problems waiting for diagnosis. Symptoms range from dull to sharp pains and aches, which may include radiating symptoms, down the arms and legs. Temperature changes in the area of these symptoms may also be experienced. A chronic condition may result in dull and constant pain.
Though pain may decrease or disappear and give a person a false sense of well being, those who have experienced chronic back pain should consult with our physician who will diagnose the condition and prescribe, if necessary, a recommended treatment plan with our renowned team of Thousand Oaks physiotherapists, Thousand Oaks chiropractors, Thousand Oaks massage therapists, and/or Thousand Oaks acupuncturists.

However, because the discs are soft, they can bulge. When this happens, they can place pressure on the spinal cord or irritate one of the nerves leading from the spinal cord out to the arms and upper torso. If the bulge becomes severe, the disc may herniate and push in the spinal canal. The result can be weakness, tingling, and numbness in the arms and hands. Bulging discs can be caused by injuries like whiplash, stress on the spine, or by arthritic degeneration in the spine.
