I suffer from back pain since a while. Normally some exercises relieve the pain a bit. But now this doesn\u2019t seem to work anymore. Should I see an Orthopedic or rather a Neurologist?<\/p>\n<p>Yours,<\/p>\n<p>Samantha*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Dear Samantha,<\/h2>\n<p>In case of back pain it is important to consult the Neurologist in order to\u00a0find out if the complaints are caused by a compression of the nerves in the region of the back. Electrophysiological measurements can support to clarify if a compression of nerves is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/diseases\/back-pain-treatment-in-dubai\/\">possible reason of the pain<\/a>. To validate the diagnosis than further examinations, e.g. MRI scan of the lumbar spine are required, e.g. in case of a supposed disc herniation or a stenosis\/narrowing of the spinal canal. If the back pain is not mainly related to the compression of nerves other medical\u00a0aspects and\/or psychosomatic factors have to be considered and ruled out as a possible origin of the pain. Therefore, a good cooperation, especially\u00a0with the orthopedic, pain management, psychiatric and psychological colleagues as well as the rheumatologist\u00a0 is\u00a0 needed. This multidisciplinary approach can often help to treat the different aspects of back pain more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Dr. med H.
