Back pain

Nearly everyone experiences back pain at some point. The sensations you feel can range from a dull ache to bursts of pain (spasms) that stop you in your tracks. These symptoms can make it hard to go about your day-to-day activities, much less participate in your favorite hobbies.

That’s why we offer easy access to doctors and physical therapists who quickly get to the source of your pain. In fact, you can even see a physical therapist without a referral from your primary care doctor.

At Aurora Health Care, your many options for care include massage therapy and injections. Our experts, from chiropractors to physical therapists to spine surgeons, can help you get lasting relief from the most stubborn symptoms.

Specialized orthopedic treatment for back pain

Our large team of sports medicine experts includes chiropractors and physical therapists with specialized training in caring for active people. At Aurora, you’ll also have access to orthopedists who offer the latest nonsurgical and surgical treatments.

Other highlights of our program include:

• Convenience: Getting care for back pain may be as simple as walking down the hall of one of our clinics. If you come in for an appointment with your doctor and you’re in a lot of pain, our chiropractors may be able to help you on the spot. You may also see one of our physical therapists without a referral from your primary care doctor.
• Expert physical therapy: Our specialty-trained physical therapists have thousands of hours of hands-on practice in orthopedics and sports medicine. And they use the latest techniques – like video analysis and anti-gravity treadmills – to help you reduce pain and recover faster so you can get back to your busy lifestyle.
• Nonsurgical treatments for stubborn symptoms: For back pain that just won’t quit, injections and other nonsurgical treatments can help you feel better. And since our orthopedists treat a high volume of patients with these techniques, you can expect a high degree of accuracy and lasting relief. Find out more about injections for joint pain.
