Experiencing back pain? Care for yourself, so you can care for them.

You’re the backbone of your family. You’re a mom, a daughter and so much more, holding it all together for everyone. That’s why you need trusted health care designed especially for you. Don’t tolerate back pain any longer. 

Did you know an estimated 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives?  And women are more likely to suffer from it than men.  Back pain can take many forms, from a dull ache to shooting pain or a stabbing sensation. The good news is that it can often be relieved.  Rest, pain medication and/or physical therapy can help.

If your back pain lasts more than two weeks, it’s time to see a doctor. Don’t delay.  Discover the cause and work with your doctor to develop a plan that fits your life.
