An abdominal aneurysm in the elderly may result in pressure on the vertebral column and can present as acute or chronic low back pain and unless this condition is diagnosed immediately, tragic outcome can be the result.

An accurate diagnosis of the causative factors is a must and if undiagnosed or misdiagnosed can lead to the wrong and delayed treatment, and result in a potential for chronic and intractable pain resulting in loss of work, unnecessary surgery and suffering.

Premier Pain Institute specializes in spine care and pain management. Our approach is to identify and treat the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.
