At some point in their lives, back pain affects about 80% of Americans. Low back pain is especially common. Back pain can be caused by a number of conditions. At UAMS, our experts have the experience and knowledge to provide excellent, individualized care for you no matter what your condition is.

Addressing Your Back Pain

Our medical team treats a variety of disorders and types of back injuries, including:

  • Pulled back muscle
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Herniated disk
  • Degenerative disk disease

Our team includes pain management specialists, spine surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors and orthopaedic doctors who will help you at every step of the healing process. Understanding how serious a back or spine condition can be and how it can affect your day-to-day life, we want to see you make a full recovery and resume your normal activities quickly. We also work with physical therapists to makes sure that you are on the road to recovery after surgery.
