Comprehensive Care for Back, Neck, and Spine Pain

Spine problems affect every aspect of life. That’s why at the Spine Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center, we treat the whole patient – not just the spine.

We partner with our patients in their care to get them back to health as soon as possible and help them achieve their goal: relief from back, neck, and spine pain.

Our highly trained specialists create a customized plan based on each patient’s condition. Whenever possible, we treat neck, back, and spine conditions with nonsurgical therapies. We promote exercise, nutrition, and other preventive strategies to keep you healthy.

While Spine Center surgeons are some of the best in the world, we save surgery for a last resort, not a starting place.
