Back & Neck Pain
Make Appointments & Get Care
What is Back and Neck Pain?
Treating conditions of the spine takes a team of physicians with a wide range of specialties and expertise. Our experts in Anesthesiology, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation are leaders in treating back and neck pain. UR Medicine offers a multidisciplinary approach to pain treatment, so you will have a complete team of pain experts working for you.
Back or neck pain is a common problem. It can be caused by injuries from sports or a fall; wear and tear from day-to-day activities over the years; aging and degeneration of bones, joints and ligaments; or even from an infection or illness. Physicians who treat back and neck pain are called spine specialists.
Some of the conditions that cause pain in these areas include:
- Disc herniation & degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Scoliosis
- Brain and spine tumors
UR Medicine's Treatments for Back & Neck Pain
You can seek care for back or neck pain from your primary care provider, orthopaedic urgent care, or via virtual urgent care. Your physician may use a combination of physical exams, diagnostic tests, and imaging to determine the cause of your back and/or neck pain. Depending on your diagnosis, your provider may refer you to UR Medicine specialists.
