Center of Excellence
Spine, Pain & Neurosurgery
Evaluation and treatment of neck and back conditions, from non-operative care and pain management to spine surgery.
Overview
The Spine, Pain & Neurosurgery center brings together orthopedic spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) and pain specialists to care for conditions of the neck and back.
Many neck and back problems improve with non-operative care, so treatment usually begins with a careful evaluation and a conservative plan. When surgery is the right option, the same team guides patients through it before, during, and after their procedure.
