HIP & SHOULDER PAIN – Restore maneuverability
Pain Beyond the Back: An Overview
For many patients, back pain is not isolated to the back alone, but may radiate to the hips, shoulders, and even the extremities of the body. This pain can affect daily functioning, the ability to enjoy everyday activities.
At SpineCare, we understand that hip and back pain can be difficult to manage, and we work with patients to diagnose the underlying cause of the problem so that we can then eliminate the symptoms that can interfere with daily life. Our team of physicians and therapists work with our patients to learn more about individual symptoms, and find the methods that will provide relief.

Some common symptoms of hip and shoulder pain resulting from spine issues include:
- Numbness or tingling down the shoulders and arms and hands
