Conditions We Treat in South Colorado Springs

The Tenderfoot Hill clinic covers the south side of the city, closest to Fort Carson, Broadmoor and Security-Widefield. That catchment shapes the caseload: a lot of physically demanding work, and a lot of people who have been managing something for longer than they should have.

Back Pain

Back pain accounts for more visits to this clinic than everything else combined. The one decision that matters is made in the first appointment: is this mechanical — a joint that has stopped moving well, a muscle guarding an old injury — or is a disc or nerve root involved? Mechanical back pain responds to manual treatment and a graded loading program and usually resolves. Nerve involvement needs imaging and often an injection, and treating it as though it were mechanical wastes months.

Hip Pain

Hip pain and low back pain refer into each other constantly, which is why so much hip pain gets treated as a back problem and never improves. Pain in the groin, in the outside of the thigh, or deep in the buttock when you sit are all worth an examination that tests the hip specifically. Where the joint itself is the source and is too irritable to rehabilitate, an image-guided injection can make the strength work possible.

Neck and Shoulder Pain

Neck pain that spreads across the top of the shoulder, and shoulder pain that is worse overhead, are frequently the same problem seen from two ends. The examination checks the neck, the shoulder blade and the joint itself before deciding which one to treat, because treating the painful one alone is the most common reason this kind of pain keeps coming back.

Service-Related and Physically Demanding Work

If your work involves load carriage, repetition, or long hours in body armour or on your feet, recovery has to be built around returning to that, not around avoiding it. We treat a good number of active-duty and veteran patients, and the plan is written around the demands you are actually going back to.

The clinic is at 1230 Tenderfoot Hill Road, Colorado Springs, one of three Mountain View Pain Center clinics in the city.

Chiropractic Care in Colorado Springs, CO

Our Colorado Springs clinic on Tenderfoot Hill Road has licensed chiropractors on site, working alongside pain physicians, physical therapists and acupuncturists. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Colorado Springs, you can book directly — no referral is needed.

Colorado Springs patients most often see our chiropractors for lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica and nerve pain, headaches and migraines, joint dysfunction, and whiplash after a car accident. Your adjustments are tailored to what your exam shows and what you are comfortable with, from traditional hands-on adjusting to low-force and instrument-assisted techniques.

What makes chiropractic care here different is what sits behind it. If your adjustments help but progress stalls, your chiropractor can bring in a physical therapist for strengthening work or coordinate with a pain physician for imaging — in the same building, on the same chart, without a new referral or a repeated history. Most patients never need that next step, but the path is already in place.

We serve south Colorado Springs, Broadmoor, Fountain and Security-Widefield. Learn more about our chiropractic care approach, see our Colorado Springs chiropractic clinics, or read about car accident chiropractic care.

Physical Therapy in Colorado Springs, CO

Our Colorado Springs clinic on Tenderfoot Hill Road has licensed physical therapists on site. Colorado is a direct access state, which means you can begin physical therapy here without a physician referral — bring your insurance card and book.

Colorado Springs patients come to our physical therapists for lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, knee pain, shoulder pain, post-operative recovery, sports and work injuries, and loss of balance or mobility. Sessions are one-on-one, and your plan is built around what you need to get back to doing.

Because your physical therapist works in the same clinic as your chiropractor and your pain physician, your plan can change as you progress — imaging ordered, manual care added, an interventional option considered — without a referral out or a repeated history. The whole team reads one chart.

Acupuncture in Colorado Springs, CO

Our Colorado Springs clinic on Tenderfoot Hill Road offers acupuncture alongside pain management, chiropractic care and physical therapy. No referral is needed, and most major plans, Medicare and Colorado Medicaid are accepted.

Colorado Springs patients most often choose acupuncture for chronic pain that has not fully settled with other treatment, nerve pain and neuropathy, headaches and migraines, neck and back pain, and the muscle tension that builds up around a long-standing injury.

Acupuncture here is not a standalone service. It sits inside the same treatment plan as your physical therapy, chiropractic care and medical pain management, documented on the same chart — so your acupuncturist knows what your imaging showed and what your physical therapist is working on.
