Some of the most common causes of upper or lower back pain include:

For most people, back pain is an acute symptom that resolves within a few days or a few weeks. However, some people experience chronic back pain that lasts three months or longer.

Whether acute or chronic, your back pain may disrupt your daily life. Dr. Marinaro is an experienced chiropractor who specializes in the treatment of upper and lower back pain and can help you get relief from your discomfort so you can get back to doing what you love.

When you come in to see Dr. Marinaro for a back pain consultation, you can expect a thorough exam focused on finding the root cause of your discomfort.

During your consultation, Dr. Marinaro asks detailed questions about your symptoms, including when your pain started, the type of pain you feel, and the activities that worsen and alleviate your discomfort. He also reviews your medical history and conducts a physical exam.

To better understand the root cause of your back pain, Dr. Marinaro may also request diagnostic imaging tests such as X-rays, a CT scan, or an MRI.
