Back pain is incredibly common, but your specific pain is unique to you. The spine is a complex highway of bones, discs, nerves, and muscles, and a hiccup in any of these areas can cause a traffic jam of pain. Some of the most frequent culprits we treat include:

If your back pain has lasted longer than four to six weeks, wakes you up at night, or is accompanied by pain, numbness, or tingling shooting down your legs, it is time to see a specialist.
Many of our interventional treatments, such as Epidural Steroid Injections and Radio-frequency Ablation (RFA), are widely covered by major commercial insurance plans and Medicare. Regenerative and wellness therapies may have different coverage options, which our billing team will review with you transparently before any treatment begins.
In many cases, no! You can contact our office directly to schedule an initial consultation. However, some insurance plans do require a primary care referral, so we recommend checking your specific policy or calling our friendly front desk team for guidance.
For fast, targeted relief from severe flare-ups or shooting nerve pain, we often use an Epidural Steroid Injection to quickly calm down swollen, irritated nerves. If your pain is coming from localized arthritis or stiff spinal joints instead, we can perform targeted Steroid Injections to knock out the inflammation and restore your daily mobility.
Providing advanced alternatives to major surgery is exactly what we specialize in here in Wichita Falls. We can safely turn off the tiny nerves sending chronic pain signals from your arthritic spinal joints using Radio-frequency Ablation (RFA). For other types of severe lower back discomfort, we offer the minimally invasive Intracept Procedure to target pain coming from the spinal bones themselves, or Spinal Cord Stimulation to block stubborn pain signals before they ever reach your brain.
Describe your pain clearly and in as much detail as possible. Most doctors and nurses ask you to describe your level of pain on a scale.
