Lower-Back Pain Specialists in Dallas
Overview
Why your back hurts (and how we find it fast)
Muscle strain, facet joint pain, and herniated discs can feel identical. Our exam plus review of your MRI/X-rays (and ordering new imaging when appropriate) identifies the true pain generator. When part of your plan, we perform precise fluoroscopy-guided injections and coordinate rehab so relief starts quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a doctor for lower-back pain or sciatica?
If pain shoots down the leg, follows a crash or heavy lift, or lasts > 7 days, book a same-day or next-day evaluation. Red flags (leg weakness, fever, bladder/bowel changes) require urgent care. See Sciatica and Herniated Disc pages.
Do I need an MRI right away?
Not usually. We review any MRI/X-rays you bring and order new imaging only when results will change treatment or if red-flag signs are present. Learn about Herniated Disc and our Lumbar Stenosis page.
What treatments relieve lower-back pain fastest?
Early Physical Therapy & Rehab, Class IV Laser Therapy, and fluoroscopy-guided epidural or facet injections can calm pain and restore motion quickly. Explore Epidural Injections, Facet/RF, and Laser Therapy.
Are epidural steroid injections safe?
When performed with fluoroscopy guidance, complications are rare. We use sterile technique, contrast confirmation, and dose limits. Read our Epidural Steroid Injection page.
How soon can I return to work or exercise?
Most desk work resumes immediately; light activity within days. After injections, easy walking is fine the same day—progress as advised by your clinician. See Physical Therapy & Rehab.
Will I need surgery?
Most patients improve without surgery. We consider microdiscectomy or decompression for severe nerve compression, progressive weakness, or failed conservative care. Review Lumbar Laminectomy/Decompression.
