Back pain: Offering a range of treatments to help relieve your back pain

If you haven’t had it yet, it’s likely that sooner or later you might. Fortunately, most of the time, the pain improves with conservative treatments — and there are a lot of them. But when surgery is necessary, it can work very well too.

UW Health offers a complete back pain program that includes rehabilitation medicine and pain management doctors, neurosurgeons, sports medicine and orthopedic surgeons, health psychologists and spine physical therapy and rehabilitation. We provide all types of treatment, from the simple to the complex. You can depend on us to help you find options to manage or eliminate your pain.

We tailor treatment to your needs. When we can, we use conservative treatments before turning to more advanced treatments such as surgery.

When you have back pain, the provider you see might depend on the type of problem you have. We have a team of experts who may take part in your care. They work together to help you find relief.

We see people for back pain at clinics throughout Madison. We also have locations in Reedsburg and Prairie du Sac.

At UW Health, we’re always looking for new and better ways to help people with back pain. You can play a part — and get tips to manage your own back pain at the same time. We’re currently looking for people to take part in our Strategies To Assist with Management of Pain (STAMP), which consists of an 8-week training program. Learn more about the study
