Not sure who to see? A quick guide to back pain providers
Most back pain gets better within a few weeks with home care and staying active (Mayo Clinic). If it doesn't, or if it's getting in the way of work and sleep, this is a common way to think about where to start:
- New or recurring back pain, no warning signs: a chiropractor, physical therapist or your primary care provider are all reasonable first stops. The American College of Physicians lists nondrug options such as heat, massage, acupuncture, spinal manipulation and exercise as first-line choices for many people with low back pain (ACP guideline, 2017).
- You want an exercise plan to get stronger and prevent flare-ups: a physical therapist.
- You prefer hands-on treatment: a chiropractor or a massage therapist.
- Pain that shoots down a leg: this may be sciatica. Read our sciatica treatment guide to compare your options.
- Pain that hasn't improved after several weeks of conservative care: ask your doctor about a pain management clinic or a spine specialist.
Contact a healthcare professional if back pain lasts longer than a few weeks, is severe and doesn't ease with rest, spreads below the knee, causes leg weakness, numbness or tingling, or comes with unexplained weight loss (Mayo Clinic).

How this site works (and how we make money)
- Tell us about your back pain. Where it hurts, how long it's lasted, your city or ZIP, and your insurance or self-pay preference. Our form screens for warning signs first and sends you to emergency care if you need it.
- Get matched. We send your request only to the provider(s) named on the form, and only with your consent.
- The provider contacts you to schedule. You can also call any listed provider directly.
It's free for patients. Providers pay us [PLACEHOLDER: confirm final model after legal review, e.g. listing fees, advertising fees or referral fees]. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored," and paying never changes our default sort order. [CONFIRM POLICY] Read how we make money and our editorial policy.
