We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
Lower back pain affects as many as 80 percent of adults over their life span. Many choose to ignore the pain, which often leads to constant discomfort or more significant health problems. You don’t have to live in pain. There are many different treatment options available, some surgical and some not, but they will get you on the path to a pain-free life. If you are finding that you have severe pain or it happens frequently, you should talk to your doctor.

Our hospital is equipped with the advanced technology doctors use to diagnose back problems. This includes X-rays, CT scans or MRIs to diagnose the problem. While your back pain could be caused by any number of issues, here are a few common ones:
