Back Pain and Neck Pain Management

Comprehensive Treatment for Back Pain and Neck Pain

Call for an Appointment

Duke spine doctors use advanced imaging technologies to pinpoint the cause and location of your back or neck pain. However, sometimes persistent, debilitating back pain and neck pain isn’t linked to a disease or injury, so there is no clear treatment route. Many people with this type of chronic back pain have trouble finding back pain relief.

We understand that your pain is real. Often, nonsurgical back pain treatments are effective in helping you feel better and get back to the activities you enjoy. When spine doctors identify something physically wrong with your anatomy -- a spinal deformity, bulging disc, or spine fracture -- spine surgery may be necessary.

Why Choose Duke

Specialized Approach to Treating Back Pain
Our spine specialists include physiatrists, chiropractors, physical therapists, orthopaedic surgeons, and neurosurgeons. Each takes a specialized approach to treating pain in the lower back, middle back, upper back, and neck area. Depending on the cause of your back pain, your team may also include psychologists, who can help you cope with the mental health aspects of back pain, or acupuncturists.

Nonsurgical and Surgical Options
We offer medications, many types of back injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy, and manual manipulation. We also specialize in spinal cord stimulation, a procedure that relieves pain by surgically placing electrodes on your spinal cord. Our spine surgeons perform disc replacement to relieve pain, complex reconstructive surgeries for scoliosis, and procedures to remove delicate spinal cancer lesions.
