Neck and Upper Back: The Cervical Spine

The cervical spine, more commonly referred to as the neck, includes seven vertebrae. These vertebrae run from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders, bearing the weight of the neck and offering flexibility to turn and twist your head.

Advances in technology are delivering precise pain relief with shorter recovery times to individuals suffering from neck pain.

Middle Back: The Thoracic Spine

The thoracic spine, or middle back, is the longest region of the spine. It is responsible for providing stability and support to the neck and lower back. There are many different causes of back pain in the thoracic spine, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and many others.

Lower Back: The Lumbar Spine

The low back bears much of the weight and strain of your body, making it susceptible to injury or chronic back pain. Fortunately, there are a wide-range of treatment options – from strengthening-exercises, corticosteroid injections to minimally invasive procedures – to help get you back on your feet.
