COVID-19 Update

About the Back and Neck Clinic

At the UAMS Health Back and Neck Clinic, our patients receive team-based care from both a physical therapist and a primary care physician who specializes in spine and sports injuries. We focus on what may be limiting your ability to do your normal activities. Then, we develop a plan to help you get as closely back to your normal activities as possible. If needed, we expand your care to include the other members of our spine team, like interventional pain anesthesiologists and fellowship-trained spine surgeons at UAMS Health.

Our Approach to Back and Neck Care

When someone experiences acute back or neck pain, they are usually given many tests, including an MRI. After all of those tests, around 80% of people are referred to physical therapy.

Our team has turned this process around. At the UAMS Health Back and Neck Clinic, after you see our doctor (and as long as there are no clinical red flags) you have an assessment by a physical therapist before going through any tests that you may not need. The process works like this:

  • A primary care physician who specializes in spine and sports injuries will discuss your issues with you and only order imaging if needed. If indicated you will see the physical therapist the same day and begin your rehabilitation.
  • Our physical therapists are specially trained in back issues. They will ask you questions and do a thorough evaluation and develop a personal plan for your recovery.
  • If a surgical or interventional pain referral is indicated, an appointment will be arranged with a fellowship-trained spine surgeon or interventional pain care anesthesiologist at UAMS Health.

Who Might Need Neck or Back Care?

You may need medical help for neck or back pain if:

  • The pain has lasted more than 72 hours without improvement.
  • If new back or neck symptoms are interrupting your sleep.
  • You have a hard time performing household tasks or participating in sports and leisure activities.
  • It is difficult for you to do your normal work because of the pain.
