Back & Joint Pain — Expert Evaluation Without the Wait

Back pain and joint pain are among the most common reasons patients seek urgent or emergency medical care. Whether the discomfort came on suddenly after lifting something, developed gradually from strain or inflammation, or is flaring due to arthritis, these symptoms can make even simple daily tasks difficult. Instead of waiting in a crowded ER, Calabasas residents can be evaluated at home by board-certified ER physician Dr. Eryk Hakman.

Common causes of back and joint pain include:

• Muscle strain or ligament sprain
• Sciatica or nerve irritation
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
• Overuse injuries
• Inflammatory conditions
• Poor posture, lifting injuries, or sudden movements

At Calabasas Concierge MD, we begin with a focused exam to determine whether the pain is muscular, nerve-related, or originating from the joints. When appropriate, we provide prescription pain medications, muscle relaxants, pain management strategies, and mobility guidance—all from the comfort of your home. We can also provide in-home injections for severe flare-ups. If imaging or specialist follow-up is needed, we coordinate it seamlessly. For any symptoms suggesting a serious spinal condition, you will be guided to the emergency department, with Dr. Hakman helping advocate for you.

Dr. Hakman’s note: “Pain that limits your ability to walk, move, or sleep shouldn’t be ignored. Early evaluation prevents small injuries from becoming chronic problems.”
