What We See at the Towson Clinic
The conditions listed here are the ones we see at our E Joppa Rd clinic in Towson. What care may involve depends on your condition, your own needs and our comprehensive evaluation.
Find Your Condition
Sudden Injuries and Long-Lasting Pain
Some of these problems come on suddenly and pass fairly soon, such as a sprain or strain. Others stay for a long time, such as chronic low back pain. Pain and trouble moving are common to both.
Several condition pages also say when another kind of doctor is the right first call. If your problem is not listed, or you cannot tell which page fits, call the clinic and ask. If the team cannot help with a problem, you may be referred to another provider.
A World Health Organization fact sheet on musculoskeletal health, meaning muscles, bones and joints, lists back pain, neck pain and fibromyalgia as pain conditions.
When to Get Emergency Care First
Call 911 right away for sudden numbness or weakness in your face, arm or leg, especially on one side. Do the same for sudden confusion, trouble speaking or seeing, trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or a sudden severe headache with no known cause. These can be signs of a stroke.
Back pain with new trouble urinating, lost bladder or bowel control, numbness in your upper legs or buttocks, or leg weakness that makes walking hard needs the emergency room now. Get immediate care too for back pain with a fever, or after a fall, a blow or another injury.
