When to Seek Help

You should seek professional advice if your symptoms are worsening, not improving over time, or affecting your daily activities.

This is especially important if you experience:

• Persistent pain that doesn’t settle
• Weakness or loss of movement
• Pain following injury or trauma

Getting the right diagnosis early can make recovery much easier.
