Common Back & Musculoskeletal Conditions We Treat
Back pain and musculoskeletal issues can arise from injury, overuse, poor posture, or aging. Some of the most common conditions we see include:
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Sciatica and nerve impingement
- Joint inflammation or overuse injuries
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Minor fractures (non-displaced)
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Work-related or sports injuries
- Degenerative disc or joint discomfort
- Acute flare-ups of arthritis or gout
We treat patients of all ages, from active teens to aging adults–helping you return to your normal routine with less pain and more confidence.
What to Expect at Your Visit
When you arrive at Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, Dr. Luke will begin with a focused physical exam and review of your symptoms, medical history, and recent activity. Depending on your condition, he may recommend on-site digital X-rays to rule out fractures or evaluate joint spaces, or refer for advanced imaging like an MRI if needed.
Once a diagnosis is made, your treatment plan may include:
- Prescription medications such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories), muscle relaxers, or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and relieve pain
- Trigger point therapy or gentle manual manipulation to address muscle knots and stiffness
- Mobility and posture coaching tailored to your activity level, including ergonomic recommendations and at-home stretching techniques
- Activity modifications, including return-to-work guidance or light duty clearance for work and school
- Supportive devices, like orthopedic braces, wraps, or splints to stabilize joints and prevent re-injury
- Injections (when appropriate) for localized inflammation (e.g., steroid or anti-inflammatory joint injections)
- Follow-up visits to monitor improvement and modify your plan as needed
- Referrals to physical therapy or orthopedics for chronic or complex cases requiring ongoing care
We treat musculoskeletal issues with the same expertise you’d expect in a hospital–but with shorter wait times, lower costs, and the personalized attention of a community clinic.
