Neck, Spine & Back
The spine runs from the base of the skull to the pelvis. It serves as a pillar to support the body’s weight and to protect the spinal cord. The spine is made up of a series of bones that are stacked like blocks on top of each other with cushions called discs in between to help absorb shock and load. It is divided into three main regions: cervical thoracic, and lumbar. Our specialists provide treatment for the following common conditions:
