Eight of 10 Americans will experience a lifestyle-altering episode of back pain at some point in their lives.

Ninety percent of single episodes of back pain become recurrent. While certain diseases and traumatic injury can cause back pain, research shows that the most common causes of back pain or injury are: poor physical condition, poor posture, improper body mechanics, and the prolonged repetitive use of incorrect bending or lifting techniques. At the Agnesian Center for Bone & Joint Health, preventing and providing relief for back pain and spinal disorders is one of our specialties.

Our clinical expertise establishes an accurate diagnosis quickly and develops a plan of care that fits the needs of each patient suffering from a spinal injury. It is our practice to exhaust every appropriate treatment option before considering surgery. However, when a concern is not corrected with prescribed rest, exercise, conditioning programs or physical therapy, further diagnostic testing may be used to precisely identify the key factors causing the patient's discomfort. If a surgical procedure becomes the right choice, our team of specialists is trained to effectively correct the concern.
