The majority of back pain injuries are caused by damage to soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. Symptoms typically improve on their own within a week or two. However, some back injuries stem from a more serious injury such as:
Herniated disk
Bulging disk
Bone spurs
Fractured vertebrae
Spinal stenosis
Our qualified medical professionals can help decide if the symptom is serious or should be treated with pain medication and muscle relaxers.

If the pain in your back is limiting function or not improving over a 48 hour period of receiving medicine, it may be time to see the doctor. In efforts to best address your back pain, our urgent care team will run through sensory, motor and strength testing to identify the severity of the condition. We may even run an X-ray to identify anatomic abnormality if there was a trauma that predated the injury.
