Back Pain Care

Back Pain Care

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It can have many possible sources, including disc problems, nerve irritation, joint problems, or muscle strain after an accident or lifting injury. In general, back pain care begins with an evaluation to help identify the likely source of symptoms so that treatment can be planned around it. At Complete Care, this evaluation is led by a Provider on our team.

Looking for the Source

Back pain that spreads into a leg, comes with numbness, or follows an injury may call for a closer look at the nerves and discs.

• EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — may help assess nerve involvement when there is radiating pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans of the spine.
• Computerized Range of Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion and record changes over time.

Treatment Approaches

Depending on the evaluation, a treatment plan may include:

• Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections — injections performed with imaging guidance, when injection therapy is considered appropriate.
• TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — a modality that may be used to help manage pain.
• Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — a modality sometimes used as part of muscle and joint care.

Results vary from patient to patient.
