Mountain View Pain Center Doctors Talk About the Causes of Back Pain
According to the United States National Library of Medicine back pain affects 8 out of 10 people in the United States. So, the question is what causes back pain? The cause of back pain from person to person will differ; some will suffer from disc conditions such as a bulged disc or degenerative disc diseases. Both of these conditions will cause back pain but it is important to know what condition you have in order to treat you properly.
Other conditions that cause back pain are muscle problems such as muscle weakness or muscle spasms. Muscle weakness will lead to improper muscle imbalance which, will lead to other muscles having to work harder leading to inflammation of that area causing pain. Muscle spasms on the other hand may be do to improper biomechanics causing one muscle to be over used. A classic example of this is the piriformis syndrome, when the pelvis rotates this causes this little muscle to over react causing the entrapment of the sciatic nerve. This entrapment of the sciatic nerve causes symptoms of sciatica.
Other reasons for back pain maybe do to a bone problem such as spinal stenosis or bone spurs. The examples given here are just some of the reasons of the cause of back pain. As you can see there are a number of reasons why you might be having back pain so it is extremely important that you’re diagnosed and treated properly.

Mountain View Pain Center Chiropractors Frequently Asked Questions: Auto Accident Injuries
Who will pay for my medical bills?
In the State of Colorado, treatment for all injuries suffered in an auto accident is paid for by your “med-pay”, and unless you specifically wave this coverage on your insurance policy, you automatically have a minimum coverage of $5,000, meaning in most cases you will have no out of pocket costs. If your medical costs exceed $5,000, depending on your policy, you still may be completely covered. Also, if you have a lawyer that you’re working with, we can work with you on a lien basis. This means we will wait for your case to settle to get paid.
Why is it important to get care after an auto accident?
Research has shown that even a minor auto accident can have long lasting residual effects. With the proper care we can help you heal properly with high quality chiropractic care, physical therapy and a specially designed rehabilitation plan to reduce your pain.
What if I didn’t get care right after my accident does that mean I can’t get care?
No, if your pain is related to you auto injury you have up to a year to get care.
How long does it take to heal properly?
This is all depending on the severity of your auto accident. It is extremely important that you get diagnosed properly and get the proper treatment to deal with your injury.
Would my insurance premium go up if I get care?
If you are not at fault, your premium will not go up. If you are at fault, your premium will go up regardless if you use your “med-pay” or not. The residual effects of your auto accident will cost more in the long run if you do not get proper treatment right away.

On April 24, 2010 the doctors of Mountain View Pain Center will be giving a talk about auto accident injuries and the symptoms that are associated with them. Here is a highlight of their talk they will be giving.
After an auto accident the most common injury is neck pain and the most common cause of this pain is due to whiplash injuries that occur during an auto accident. It is very important that you are diagnosed and treated properly because untreated whiplash injuries can lead to multiple problems such as headaches, unrelenting neck pain, and faster degeneration of the cervical spine among other things.
