Discovering & Treating Your Back Pain Causes
Doctors at Dignity Health can diagnose the cause of your back pain based on your symptoms, physical exam, medical history, and recent activities.
Using the latest diagnostic testing, such as an imaging test, X-ray, bone scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), your doctor can confirm the cause and develop a personalized treatment plan for back pain relief.
Our doctors may recommend home care, over-the-counter pain medicine, and exercises to strengthen your back and effectively ease back pain. When these and other nonsurgical treatments no longer work, orthopedic surgery is an option in some cases.
