Spine pain doesn’t always stay gone just because it settles down for a few days or weeks. When the same discomfort keeps returning, it’s often your body’s way of telling you that something deeper is going on. Identifying the real cause is the first step toward lasting relief.
At Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin in Hudson, WI, double-board-certified pain physicians Dr. John Brendel and Dr. Matthew Thorson diagnose and treat chronic spinal pain. Dr. Thorson is the area’s only ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery specialist, while Dr. Brendel brings nearly 25 years of pain management experience.
Why Does Spine Pain Keep Returning?
Recurring spine pain can have several causes. Even if the discomfort improves temporarily with rest or medication, the underlying problem may still be present.
Some of the most common reasons include:
- Degenerative disc disease: As spinal discs wear down with age, they can trigger recurring neck or back pain.
- Herniated or bulging discs: A damaged disc may continue irritating nearby nerves, leading to repeated flare-ups.
- Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can place pressure on nerves, especially during standing or walking.
- Arthritis of the spine: Worn facet joints can cause ongoing inflammation and stiffness.
- Old injuries: Car accidents, falls, or sports injuries may leave lasting structural changes that continue causing pain.
- Muscle weakness or poor posture: Weak core muscles and everyday movement habits can repeatedly strain the spine.
