At Dr. Justin Faye's clinic in McAllen, Texas, patients receive expert evaluation and customized treatment for all types of back pain - so they can get back to doingwhat they love.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can arise from a wide range of issues:

• Muscle strain or injury

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Spinal stenosis

• Degenerative disc disease

• Facet joint inflammation

• Sciatica or pinched nerves

It may start gradually or suddenly - and the pain may be sharp, aching or even radiate down the legs.

When Should You See a Specialist?

If your back pain is:

• Lasting longer than six weeks

• Causing numbness or tingling

• Worsening at night or after rest

• Making it difficult to walk or stand

• Following an accident or fall

... it's time to consult a pain medicine specialist like Dr. Faye.

• Medication management to support short-term or long-term care
