Atención de la columna vertebral
Los médicos de columna vertebral, que pueden ser ortopedistas o neurocirujanos, diagnostican y tratan problemas relacionados con la columna vertebral. Estos profesionales pueden ayudar con el tratamiento del dolor de cuello y espalda, así como con el tratamiento de lesiones, traumatismos y enfermedades relacionadas con la columna vertebral. Es posible que deba ver a un especialista en columna vertebral si tiene hernia de disco, daño en los nervios, dolor en el nervio ciático o dolor de espalda crónico.

- Back pain when standing, walking or lying down
- Intense pain, burning or grinding in your back
- Inability to carry weight
- Pain, soreness or reduced range of motion in your back immediately following, or the day after, a long walk
- Inability to stand or walk for more than a few minutes
- Sudden swelling on or near your spine
- Signs of infection, such as fever, chills or redness, accompanied by back pain
