Cervical Spine Fractures and Dislocations

Our spine doctors expertly manage cervical spine injuries with care that fits your needs and meets your recovery goals.

Complete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Care

A cervical spine fracture is a bone break in the neck portion of your spine. A cervical dislocation happens when you injure a ligament in your neck. This causes instability in your spine. You can have a cervical fracture, cervical dislocation or both.

High-energy trauma from motor vehicle accidents, a fall, sports or violence can cause a neck or spinal cord injury. Broken necks and dislocated necks make up half of all spine injuries.

Our spine experts use advanced imaging tools to check your injuries and design a complete care plan just for you. We provide treatments that decrease your pain, improve and preserve your neurologic function and stabilize your cervical spine.
