Treating your back pain
Every patient is unique. After our spine team’s experts make an accurate diagnosis of what’s causing your back pain, we’ll create an individualized treatment plan to help you heal and feel stronger.
Most of the time, getting rid of debilitating back pain doesn’t require surgery to help you start to feel better. At OrthoIndy, your needs are always at the center of our approach. Your doctor will work with you, considering your goals and lifestyle needs.
See what to expect during the diagnosis and treatment process when you see a doctor for back pain.
Then, we’ll develop a back pain treatment plan designed to help you get normal back—whatever your normal looks like—using proven, non-surgical treatment options and non-invasive interventional procedures, including:
- Physical therapy
- Medications
- Braces
- Injections
- Nutrition guidance
If non-surgical treatments fail to provide back pain relief, your spine specialist may recommend back surgery.
