Back
As the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of back doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in diagnosing and treating back injuries and conditions.
Back pain is a frequent occurrence, impacting people of all ages and activity levels. While some discomfort may resolve on its own, persistent or worsening pain can signal a more significant underlying condition. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective treatment and preventing future complications. Consulting a back specialist allows for a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the source of your pain. This could range from sports injuries or accidents to degenerative processes that develop over time.
No matter the type of back-related pain, it is important to seek medical care from a professional who can accurately diagnose the back injury or condition and offer treatment options to provide pain relief to return to a healthy and active lifestyle.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Finding out when to seek an expert is a hard thing to do on your own. You should schedule an appointment if you or a loved one notices any of the following symptoms:
- Aches or weakness in your back and legs
- Discomfort following lifting or physical exertion
- Increased back pain or discomfort while standing or walking
- Loss of control over limbs
- Muscle spasms in the back
- Pain, tingling, or numbness extending from your spine to buttocks, legs, and feet
- Persistent back pain
When it comes to picking the right doctor to treat your injury or condition, there are several factors to consider, such as professional training and level of expertise. Our back doctors are experts with extensive specialty training and experience. They can locate the source of these symptoms and determine if it is an indication of a serious injury or condition. The most common conditions our back specialists treat are:
- Compression fractures
- Low-back pain
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Slipped discs in the back
- Spinal stenosis
- Spine degeneration
- Spondylolysis
Our team of specialty-trained back doctors offers a comprehensive range of treatments, which includes:
- Deformity correction surgery
- Diagnostic ultrasound evaluation
- Electrodiagnostic testing
- Intracept® for low-back pain
- Minimally invasive nerve treatments, like radiofrequency neurolysis
- Nerve compression treatments, including lumbar laminectomy and discectomy

Our back doctors are committed to using conservative approaches to treatment first for your back injury or condition.
