Treat Your Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons men miss work and skip the gym. Whether it came on suddenly or has been nagging you for months, you don’t have to just live with it.
Our providers evaluate your pain, examine your movement, and identify the likely cause, from muscle strain to nerve irritation. Your plan may include medication, targeted exercises, lifestyle adjustments, and referral to physical therapy or a specialist when needed, so you can get back to moving freely.
FAQ
What causes lower back pain?
Most back pain comes from muscle or ligament strain, poor posture, or lifting incorrectly. It can also stem from disc problems, arthritis, or nerve compression. An exam helps identify the source.
When should I see a provider for back pain?
See a provider if pain is severe, lasts more than a couple of weeks, follows an injury, or comes with numbness, weakness, or issues controlling your bladder or bowels. Those last symptoms need urgent care.
How is back pain treated?
Most cases improve with a combination of activity modification, targeted exercises, and medication for pain and inflammation. Our providers tailor the plan and refer to physical therapy or specialists if needed.
Do I need imaging like an X-ray or MRI?
Not usually at first. Most back pain improves without imaging. Our providers order it when there are specific red flags or when pain isn’t improving as expected.
