When Pain Needs a Physician’s Care
Many back and neck injuries improve with chiropractic care and physical therapy alone. Some need more. When pain is severe or keeps coming back, a physician who specializes in pain management can step in, and Colorado Injury Center has one on staff. Our pain management in Colorado Springs, CO, gives these patients an added level of medical care without sending them to another clinic.
Accurate Diagnosis Comes First
Relief lasts longer when the cause of pain is clear. We use advanced imaging to pinpoint each injury, including standard X-rays, DMX digital motion imaging, and MRI scans. With a precise diagnosis, our physician can treat the source of your pain while easing your symptoms at the same time.
Pain Conditions We Treat
Our medical team treats pain from a wide range of injuries and conditions. The most common include:
Better Pain Control Means a Better Quality of Life
Controlling pain does more than make you comfortable. It helps you stay active, sleep through the night, and handle daily tasks with less effort. Our approach rests on a simple belief: most pain, whatever its type or severity, can be managed with modern medical techniques.
An On-Site Pain Physician Coordinating Your Care
Pain management is usually needed only in more severe cases. When it is, you can stay right here for care. Our pain management physician practices on-site and speaks directly with your chiropractor, physical therapist, and massage therapist. Your treatment plan stays coordinated, and every provider on your team knows what the others are doing.

Call (719) 266-6431What Pain Management in Colorado Springs, CO Includes
Pain management at our clinic starts with a medical evaluation and a clear diagnosis. From there, your physician builds a plan around your injury, your pain level, and your goals. Depending on your needs, that plan may include:
- A full medical exam and review of your imaging
- Carefully monitored medication to control pain during recovery
- Lordex spinal decompression for disc-related back pain
- Minimally invasive lumbar decompression for certain cases of spinal stenosis
- Ongoing coordination with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage
- Referrals to trusted specialists when injection-based care is recommended
Medical treatment is paired with active care whenever possible. Pain relief creates a window for healing, and therapy uses that window to restore strength and movement.
Back Pain Relief Designed Around the Cause
Back pain after an injury can come from several sources. A herniated disc may press on a nerve. A strained muscle may go into spasm. Narrowing of the spinal canal, known as spinal stenosis, can cause pain and numbness in the legs.
Our back pain management in Colorado Springs, CO, begins by identifying which of these is behind your symptoms. Treatment then targets that source. Disc problems may respond to Lordex spinal decompression and targeted exercise. Nerve irritation may need medical treatment to settle the inflammation first. Certain cases of stenosis may qualify for a minimally invasive procedure.
Your physician explains each option clearly, including what to expect and how long relief typically takes.
Neck Pain Relief After Whiplash and Injury
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints after a car accident. Whiplash strains the muscles and ligaments of the neck, and a cervical disc injury can send pain, tingling, or weakness into the shoulders and arms. Headaches often follow.
Our neck pain management in Colorado Springs, CO, combines medical care with hands-on treatment. Your physician addresses pain and inflammation, while your chiropractor and physical therapist restore motion and strength. DMX digital motion imaging helps us spot ligament damage in the neck that standard images can miss, so your plan targets the injury directly.
Most patients notice steady improvement within the first several weeks of coordinated care.
Treating Pain Early to Prevent Chronic Problems
Pain that lasts longer than three months is considered chronic pain. Once pain reaches that stage, it becomes harder to treat. The nervous system can grow more sensitive over time, and inactivity weakens the muscles that support the spine.
Early treatment helps stop that cycle before it starts. Getting pain under control in the first weeks after an injury allows you to stay active and follow through with therapy. It also lowers the risk of long-lasting problems.
If you have already been living with pain for months, relief is still possible. Our physician reviews your history, looks for causes that may have been missed, and creates a plan to bring your pain down step by step.
Your First Pain Management Visit
Your first appointment is a detailed conversation and exam. Our physician asks when the pain started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your sleep, work, and daily routine. Bring any imaging, medical records, or medication lists you have.
After the exam, your physician reviews your imaging with you and explains the diagnosis in plain terms. You leave with a written plan that outlines your treatments, how often you will come in, and the goals you are working toward. Follow-up visits track your progress and adjust the plan as your pain improves.
