About Back & Neck Pain

Neck and back pain Solutions for Pain management Northern Beaches Sydney Dr Tim Hucker.

Back pain is probably the leading cause of disability, missed work and impaired quality of life in the world. There are a multitude of causes from a new injury to long term wear and tear, affecting many age ranges in many ways.

Much of back and neck pain management has traditionally been focussed on looking for a simple solution such as injecting a single joint. The reality is that our backs and necks usually don’t just show signs of wear and tear or get damaged in single isolated areas.

Pain specialists look to injection treatments to help diagnose the areas causing pain (such as nerve blocks) before considering longer term pain management options such as radiofrequency procedures. This is only one part of the paradigm though. Long term management involves ensuring the back pain sufferer is as fit, core strong, slender and in the best frame of mind to ensure they are optimising their life.
