Back and neck pain can be just mildly irritating—or it can interfere with your day-to-day activities and prevent you from living a healthy, full life. Spine Services at University of Utah Health treats all types of back, neck, and spine-related pain and disorders. This includes common to the most complex problems.

We understand that the idea of having spine surgery can be scary and overwhelming. For this reason, we only recommend surgery as a last resort—when it’s clear other treatments won’t relieve pain. We use conservative treatments first, always recommending exercise, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes before more invasive treatments. We also offer spine evaluations to help our patients determine the best treatment options for their condition.

Our care team of expert neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and physiatrists use the latest technology and research, ensuring you receive the most effective and current treatments available. When you need care, why not go to the place where spine and back specialists are trained?

Spine specialists at U of U Health are also training tomorrow's specialists today. We partner with spine specialists in the Department of Neurosurgery, the Department of Orthopaedics, and the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
