Back Pain Treatments
One minute, you’re just fine. The next, your back is hurting so badly you can barely move. That is the nature of back pain, and almost everyone suffers from it at one time or another. In some cases, back pain resolves on its own within a week or so with the help of over-the-counter pain relievers. However, when back pain is so bad you cannot function, or there are other symptoms connected with the pain, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Our Approach to Back Pain Treatment
Chronic back pain that evolves into nerve pain is a very painful experience that can dramatically affect daily life. At Hoag Orthopedic Institute, we want to help you get back to doing what you love without pain.
Our dedicated team of fellowship-trained spine surgeons is skilled in the latest evidence-based nonsurgical spine treatments, minimally invasive procedures, and complex spine surgery including spinal fusion. You are in expert hands when you seek back pain treatment at Hoag Orthopedic Institute (HOI). Our board-certified and fellowship-trained spine doctors are dedicated to providing exceptional outcomes.
