Back Pain

Back pain can interfere with daily activities such as standing, walking, sitting, lifting, or sleeping. Symptoms may develop gradually or occur after an injury.

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics and Regenerative Clinic, we evaluate back pain and guide appropriate conservative, nonsurgical care to help reduce discomfort and improve function.

Many patients seek care when symptoms persist despite rest, medications, or prior treatment.

Same-day appointments may be available for select conditions.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

• Low back pain or stiffness
• Pain with sitting, standing, or movement
• Shooting or sharp pain radiating into the hips or legs
• Muscle tightness or spasms
• Difficulty with bending or lifting
• Symptoms not improving with prior treatment

If so, an evaluation may help clarify the cause and next steps.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain may result from:

• Muscle strain or overuse
• Joint irritation or degeneration
• Disc-related changes in the lumbar spine
• Nerve irritation or compression (sciatica)
• Poor movement mechanics or posture

A careful evaluation helps determine the source of symptoms.

When Should You Seek Care?

Consider scheduling an evaluation if you experience:

• Back pain lasting several weeks
• Pain that limits daily activity
• Pain radiating or shooting into the legs
• Persistent stiffness or reduced mobility
• Symptoms that do not improve with rest

Our Approach to Back Pain

Care begins with a detailed history and physical examination to understand your symptoms and functional limitations. Treatment focuses on conservative, function-based care and may include:

Conservative Management

• Activity modification
• Guided rehabilitation and strengthening
• Movement and posture education
• Electrical stimulation to support muscle function and pain control

Procedural Support

• Targeted trigger point injections for muscle-related pain
• Ultrasound-guided procedures when appropriate

Care Coordination (When Needed)

• Referral to spine specialists for advanced imaging or procedures when appropriate
• Referral for surgical evaluation if indicated

Care is focused on improving function and addressing the underlying cause of symptoms rather than long-term reliance on pain medications. Medication management is typically coordinated with your primary care provider or treating specialist when appropriate.

Important Considerations

Back pain may sometimes involve nerve irritation that causes pain, numbness, or tingling into the hips or legs.

If symptoms involve progressive weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, or significant neurological changes, urgent evaluation may be necessary.

Schedule and Evaluation

If back pain is limiting your daily activities or not improving with time, schedule an evaluation to discuss your symptoms and next steps.
