Chronic Back Pain Specialists | Arizona

There are many causes for back pain, but the majority result from injury, repetitive body positions, and some medical conditions.

In many cases, back pain is caused by muscle or ligament strain. It can also be caused by compression of the spinal nerves.

The majority of individuals develop back pain due to poor habits such as:

Muscle and postural imbalances
Lifting, pushing, or pulling objects incorrectly
Overexertion

Common conditions associated with back pain include arthritis, osteoporosis, ruptured or bulging disc, ligament or muscle strain, and skeletal irregularities.

Our providers focus on diagnosing your condition accurately so we can get you on the path to recovery faster.

If you’ve suffered from a recent injury then your symptoms may be obvious, but most people who are experiencing back pain have been dealing with it for a long time. Not only is it emotionally taxing, but its effects on your quality of life can be far-reaching. Activities like walking, driving, and playing with your kids and/or grandkids can become physically intolerable.

Symptoms can vary depending on the cause of your pain and the severity of your injury, but include:

Trouble bending or twisting your back
Feeling a dull ache or stabbing pain
Pain radiating down one or both legs
Weakness, numbness, or tingling
Limited range of motion or flexibility
Inability to stand up straight

While it may feel easier to accept these nagging pains as a part of your daily life, medical studies have shown that a multidisciplinary approach is effective for treating chronic back pain. By combining interventional pain management with alternative therapies and medicines, we’ve helped thousands of patients reduce their back pain and return to functionality.

Do I need to pay anything for my first visit?

Most private insurance plans will require us to collect your co-pay at the time of service. We can help you figure this out when you call to schedule your appointment.

Should I bring an MRI? etc.?

We have on-line access to SimonMed, EVDI and Valley Radiology (now Banner Imaging Centers) so you don’t have to bring any images or reports from those facilities. If your imaging was done at other centers it would be helpful to bring any copies you might have at home.

Will I get a surprise bill for all of my treatments?

No. We accept most insurances and our payment rates are based upon their determination of reasonable value for the services we perform on your behalf. Because we know that healthcare can be expensive, we try hard to make our patients aware of their out-of-pocket financial responsibility prior to performing the service(s).

Awesome information your visitors need, just a click away

During your first visit you will meet with one of our Providers who will perform a comprehensive review of your medical history and perform a physical examination. We will also review any pertinent imaging studies and outside medical records. The Provider will work with you to tailor an individualized treatment plan for your condition and oftentimes order additional testing and therapies.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

Most PPO-type insurance plans and Medicare generally do not require referrals. The majority of AHCCS plans do require a referral and our team can help you obtain one from your primary care provider.
