What We Do

Diagnosis and Treatment for Back Pain and Other Symptoms

At Salt Lake Spine & Sports Medicine, we evaluate and treat people with a variety of conditions related to the spine, nerves, muscles, limbs, and joints. Back injuries and disorders can come with many symptoms. By taking a thorough history, doing a complete physical examination, pursuing appropriate imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, etc.), and obtaining electrodiagnostic studies as needed, we can determine the best way to treat your symptoms and their underlying causes.

We use a variety of non-surgical techniques to help reduce pain, improve endurance and fitness, and return to full function. We work closely with some of the best physical therapists and surgeons in the Salt Lake City area.

We work to identify the source of and treat the following symptoms:

• Lower back pain
• Upper back pain
• Neck pain
• Pinched nerves
• Joint pain
• Pain in arms and legs
• Tingling or numbness in extremities

Some symptoms may arise from specific work or sport injuries; with others you may not be able to identify a the exact pain generator. But whether you are suffering from a pinched nerve, lower back pain, or numbness in your fingers; we work to diagnose the source and guide you to the proper treatment.

Common conditions we diagnose include:

• Carpal tunnel
• Osteoarthritis
• Herniated disc
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Other spine and extremity related work and sports injuries
