中文Not all back pain is a herniated disc. Identifying the exact cause is the first step in treatment.
Lower back pain is so common that almost everyone experiences it at some point. Most cases are caused by muscle or ligament strain, but if numbness or a pulling sensation extends down the leg, it is worth checking whether a nerve in the lower back is involved.
A herniated disc and spinal stenosis can produce similar symptoms, and simple muscle strain can also cause lower back pain. Looking at where the pain occurs, whether there is leg numbness, and how symptoms change with movement helps distinguish the cause.
Dr. Sang-beom Kim, Director of Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic, draws on his experience as a team physician for professional basketball and soccer teams to evaluate not only the painful area but also movement and nerve function from a sports medicine perspective, identifying the cause of lower back conditions and guiding each patient's treatment plan.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic is a 2-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hwajeong Station (Vision Plaza, 3F) in Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, making it easy to visit from Hwajeong, Haengsin, Neunggok, Wondang, and anywhere in Deokyang-gu. We also offer evening clinic hours until 9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, so you can be seen for your back after work.
If the following symptoms recur or appear together, it is a good idea to see a doctor.
Because lower back pain can arise from many different causes, we combine your medical history with a physical examination and imaging tests.
The course of treatment is decided by weighing your symptoms together with the test results.
If muscle weakness progresses or surgical treatment is needed, we refer you to a partner medical institution and support your rehabilitation before and after surgery.
The lower back is under constant strain in everyday life.
