About Back and Neck Specialists
Care That Puts Safety, Answers, and Results First
Since 1973, Back and Neck Specialists, a second‑generation practice, has helped patients in East Memphis feel heard and cared for. Dr. Josh Cole takes the time to listen, perform a detailed history and exam, and explain findings in plain language. Our mission is simple: to provide the best care, as safely as possible, and give you tools to use at home. We believe every patient deserves a clear diagnosis and a plan that makes sense.

How We Work and Our Eight‑Visit Plan
We confirm exam findings with on-site X-rays when indicated and check blood pressure before beginning care. If X‑rays don’t match the exam, we rethink, test further, or refer to a trusted specialist—there’s no guessing. Care begins with a brief test adjustment, followed by an eight-visit cycle with re-exams to measure progress; there are no long-term contracts. If you’re curious whether we’re the right fit, schedule a consultation by phone or in person; we verify insurance benefits upfront.

Accuracy You Can Trust
Our practice’s careful approach has uncovered serious conditions other providers missed, ensuring patients reach the right place for care. Examples include a necrotic hip found on X‑rays in a patient with knee pain, multiple myeloma with an L3 compression fracture found after history and imaging, and, under Dr. Larry Cole, a “hangman’s” fracture identified when ER films were incomplete.
These cases are rare, but they show why we never rush and always put safety first. We coordinate with orthopedics across East Memphis and follow up on your prognosis.
Education, Relief, and Athlete‑Level Insight
Multiple factors often cause pain, so we look beyond a single painful spot. We’ll discuss hydration, inflammatory foods, and irritating postures—such as how you sit on the couch—and teach you home exercises to help you stay better between visits. With experience caring for professional golfers, we bring PGA Tour‑level assessment to rib, shoulder, and spine issues for workers and athletes alike.
