InterQuest sits at the north end at 10807 New Allegiance Drive; Academy is on the east side at 3204 N Academy Boulevard; Tenderfoot is in the south at 1230 Tenderfoot Hill Road. Each treats low back pain and each has Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Acupuncture in the same building.
Because the city runs long north to south, the sensible choice is usually the nearest one rather than the one someone recommended. Monument and Gleneagle come to InterQuest, the Powers corridor to Academy, Fountain and Security-Widefield to Tenderfoot.
Low back pain covers several different problems. The examination exists to separate them: which movements reproduce it, whether it refers into the leg, and whether the source is the facet joints, the disc, the sacroiliac joint or the muscle around them.
That answer changes everything downstream. A back that hurts more standing and extending is a different plan from one that hurts more sitting, and a sacroiliac joint responds to something different again.
Most episodes improve over weeks, and what changes the curve is graded movement rather than rest. Chiropractic care restores motion in segments that have locked. Physical Therapy rebuilds the endurance the trunk lost while it was being protected. Acupuncture is used where guarding is holding everything in place.
All three are delivered on one plan and one chart, so the sequence is decided together rather than by whoever you happened to book with first.
Where the conservative course has not been enough, what follows depends on the examination. Medial branch blocks confirm or rule out the facet joints and can lead to radiofrequency ablation. An epidural steroid injection is used where a nerve root is involved. A sacroiliac joint injection is used where that joint is confirmed.
In Colorado Springs all of these are performed in office at InterQuest, off the InterQuest Parkway exit on I-25, by the physician who assessed you.
