Surgery and Noninvasive Neck Pain Treatments  

Most people experience neck pain at some point in their lives. Our experts diagnose and treat chronic neck problems, including pain, so you can enjoy a better quality of life. We use advanced testing to find out what’s causing your issue. Whether it’s a simple strain or a complex condition that requires surgery, we will find a solution.

More than 90% of people with neck pain improve with physical therapy, medications, steroid injections, massage and other conservative treatments. If you do need surgery, our world-renowned spinal surgeons offer minimally invasive procedures.

Why Choose Us to Relieve Your Neck Pain

Our team works together to customize your treatment.

Our minimally invasive surgeries are performed in less time, with less tissue damage and less pain than traditional surgeries.

Patients go home sooner and have better outcomes with our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach.

Our spine surgeons are pioneers in minimally invasive spine surgeries.
We are a Blue Distinction Center for our expertise in delivering specialty care.
