Back pain can come about for lots of reasons, but relief can start with the help of a physiatrist -- a doctor who focuses on improving your body's function and reducing pain. Whether you're suffering because of chronic pain, a sports injury, or need help rehabbing from something like a stroke, a physiatrist can help by finding the cause of your pain or limitation and treating it holistically. Duke Health physiatrist Carolyn Keeler explains how she helps patients with immediate needs and sets them up to avoid future injuries.
