At Marshfield Clinic, you get coordinated care designed around your life. Our spine team brings together advanced imaging, pain management, physical therapy, and specialized expertise to provide the best nonsurgical or surgical options for your condition.
If surgery is recommended, ask about endoscopic spine surgery—a technique that can mean less pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes. Your spine care team will help determine whether it’s right for you.

Your care options
Start conservatively
Most back pain responds well to nonsurgical treatments such as medications, activity modification, and physical therapy. If pain persists, your team may recommend interventional procedures or other noninvasive techniques.
When to seek care
If neck or back pain doesn’t improve after 1–2 weeks of rest, heat/ice, and over-the-counter medication, schedule an appointment.
What to expect at your visit
To tailor your treatment, your specialist may ask: how the pain started, any precipitating event, what it feels like (ache, burning, sharp, stabbing, pins and needles), what worsens or relieves it, whether it radiates, and whether it’s constant or intermittent.
