Back pain can result from musculoskeletal injuries (sprains or strains), acute disc bulges, herniated discs, joint dysfunction and many other injuries. Almost 80% of people will experience back pain at least once in their life, with the most common area of pain being in the lower back.
Access Sports Medicine treats children and adults with acute and chronic pain, rheumatologic conditions and musculoskeletal injuries. Our interventional physiatrist works closely with physical therapists and other allied health professionals to comprehensively manage and treat most back pain conditions while maintaining a focus in the body’s ability to heal itself.
