You may be experiencing back pain problems.

Based on your answers, it is possible you could be experiencing back problems. We encourage you to talk to your health care provider about your concerns which may help correct potential pain issues.

Your provider may recommend further testing, such as an X-ray or MRI, which can be conducted at one of our Memorial Hermann Imaging Centers.

A provider referral is required to undergo imaging tests. If you have a primary care provider (PCP), you may be referred to a specialist. If you do not have a PCP, you can use our online tool to Find a physician.
