If you suffer from persistent back pain in Reno that impairs your ability to do the things you want, and especially if everyday tasks become difficult, you need professional help with chronic back pain. Several serious conditions could be causing your back pain, and a specialist can diagnose your condition and design an effective plan for treatment.

Common causes of chronic back pain can include:

• Overwork / straining your back
