Suggest Treatment For Back Burning Sensation

Posted on Thu, 4 Jun 2015

Question: I have stinging , burning back pain on the left side of my spine. It comes within seconds and then goes . If I do not move, I have no trouble, but movement seems to exacerbate it.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to spondylosis

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

You could be suffering from spondylosis. In such a case, due to age related degenerative changes, the openings through which the spinal nerves exit from the vertebral canal, get narrowed down. This could create pressure on certain nerves leading to the stinging and burning sensation. In such a case, proper exercise, as guided by a physical therapist, should be able to provide relief, while improper movement would exaggerate it. Spinal traction is required only in severe cases.

Hope that helps.
