Bannister Wolfe: Hi, Bannister here! Let’s continue to Think Healthy. Most people seem to think that back pain occurs when there is an injury to our spinal cord. That’s actually not true.

Doctor Puja:

“Rather, most back pain comes from injuries to our muscles and ligaments and not our spinal cord.

Doctor Puja: “Home stretches, medications like ibuprofen, and hands-on treatments like OMT. If that pain continues, it’s time to talk to your health care team.”
