About Back Pain Clinic
A Different Approach to Pain Relief
At Back Pain Clinic, we’ve built our reputation on being refreshingly different from typical healthcare experiences. Since taking over this established practice in 2013, Dr. Rob Fast has maintained its 40-year legacy while infusing it with his patient-centered philosophy.
Our approach focuses on clear communication, personalized care, and treating you as a partner in your own healing journey.
Our Practice Philosophy: Honesty and Results
When you visit our office, you won’t hear confusing terms like “subluxation” or vague explanations about your condition. Instead, Dr. Fast will clearly explain what’s happening in your body, why you’re experiencing pain, and exactly how we plan to address it. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments or keeping patients in endless maintenance programs. Our goal is to identify the specific cause of your pain, treat it effectively, and give you the tools to prevent future problems.
If your condition requires care beyond our expertise, we’ll promptly refer you to the right specialist.
A Welcoming Space for Healing
Our clinic is housed in a rehabilitated building that creates a warm, open environment where you can see what’s happening throughout the space. Unlike practices with sliding glass windows and closed doors, our open floor plan allows you to observe different treatment areas and rehabilitation activities. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by name and guided through your visit without unnecessary waiting. This transparency extends to our approach—we want you to understand every aspect of your care, from diagnosis to treatment plan to expected outcomes.
Serving the Belleville Community for Generations
For over four decades, Back Pain Clinic has been a trusted fixture in the Belleville area. We’ve cared for multiple generations of families, helping everyone from teenage athletes to seniors with chronic conditions. Our long-standing presence in the community reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care that produces real results. Many of our new patients come to us after being frustrated with providers who didn’t take the time to explain their condition or offer clear treatment paths.
Specialized Care for Accident & Injury Cases
Dr. Fast brings specialized training and experience in handling personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. He understands the complex documentation requirements, legal aspects, and unique treatment considerations these situations demand. Where other practices may shy away from these cases, we embrace them, offering care on a lien basis when appropriate.
Dr. Fast even finds satisfaction in the occasional court appearance or deposition, seeing it as another way to advocate for his patients’ wellbeing.
