Back and Neck Pain Clinics

Norton Leatherman Spine Back & Neck Pain Clinics are designed for quick access to get your started getting relief right away.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had neck or back pain for two days or two decades. You want to get started finding relief quickly. That’s what we do at Norton Leatherman Spine Back & Neck Pain Clinics.

Neck and back clinic providers are available Monday through Friday and typically see patients within three business days — and often within one business day.

As part of an appointment at a Norton Leatherman Spine Back & Neck Pain Clinic, we’ll starting diagnosing the cause of your pain. That may involve X-rays, MRI scan or other imaging tests. The type of pain you have, the results of a physical exam and your insurer’s guidelines will influence the timing of these tests.

You’ll leave your first appointment with a plan for getting pain relief.
