Understanding joint, bone & back pain
Joint or back pain can have many causes. Depending on the circumstances, a healthcare professional may evaluate injury history, mobility, strength and other symptoms before recommending the next step.
Questions to ask at an appointment
- Was there an injury or has the pain developed gradually?
- Should previous X-rays, MRI reports or treatment summaries be brought?
- Is orthopedic assessment or physiotherapy more appropriate for my needs?
When to seek urgent medical attention: Major injury, new loss of limb function or new bladder or bowel problems with back pain require prompt emergency assessment.
