Back and neck pain are incredibly common — but that doesn’t mean you have to simply live with it

About 80% of adults will experience some form of back or neck pain during their lifetime. From muscle strains and ligament sprains to nerve pain and even “tech neck” caused by looking down at our phones and devices, there are many reasons discomfort can develop. As part of our Back to Living series, Dr. Sasha Vaziri of Lyerly Neurosurgery at Baptist Health Jacksonville explains some of the most common causes of back and neck pain — and how today’s minimally invasive surgical techniques can help eligible patients recover faster with less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. The first step is understanding what may be causing your pain and what treatment options are available. Learn more at BaptistJax.com/back or call 904-202-BACK.
