From the Desk of: Robin Wakeham, Physical Therapist

Dear Friend,


Why is back pain at night a red flag?

Experiencing back pain at night can be a red flag because it may indicate that the underlying condition causing the pain is more serious than a simple muscle strain or sprain...

Nighttime back pain can be a sign of spinal tumors, infections, or inflammation that is worse when lying down...

Additionally, nighttime back pain can be a symptom of conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis or spinal stenosis, which can progress and cause more serious complications if left untreated...

It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent back pain at night, particularly if it's accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, chills, or neurological changes like numbness or weakness...


Thanks,

Robin Wakeham

P.S.- Don't forget you're just one step away from relieving your back pain...
