If you’re experiencing these signs, you should see a spine doctor:

  • Numbness: Numbness in your arms and legs could be a sign of a nerve issue that requires a spine doctor to assess.
  • Severe back pain: If you have severe back pain that doesn’t improve after taking over-the-counter medicine and resting, you should see a spine doctor to figure out what the issue could be. 
  • Trouble walking: If you’re having trouble walking or standing, it is very important that you see a spine doctor to have it fixed.
