Frequently asked questions

When should I see a doctor for back pain?

See a doctor if pain lasts more than a few weeks, is severe, follows an injury, or comes with numbness, weakness, or fever. Seek emergency care for loss of bladder or bowel control or sudden weakness in your legs.

Will I be referred to a specialist for joint pain?

Many back and joint problems improve with care from your primary care doctor, such as pain management and exercise or physical therapy. If you need imaging or specialized care, such as orthopedics, we can arrange a referral.
