Universal Back Pain Program

Back and Neck Pain: A Team Approach

Back and neck pain are among the top reasons for doctor visits. Getting an appointment with a provider who specializes in spine care can take weeks or even months, and often patients require the care of multiple specialists. The chronic nature of most back and neck pain coupled with managing multiple doctor visits often leads to frustration and continued pain without a plan for pain relief.

Temple’s Universal Back Pain Program simplifies and streamlines your path to back and neck pain relief. Our comprehensive program combines the expertise of many specialists to provide you with timely appointments, a clear treatment plan and effective results. Together, we’ll help you regain your ability to enjoy life without chronic back and neck pain.
