Back and neck pain are among the most common health problems in adults. Most episodes of back and neck pain are temporary, resulting from stress of muscles or ligaments that support the spine. Many people find relief with the help of ice, heat and anti-inflammation medications. Others are not so lucky.

Sufferers of chronic neck and back conditions or severe spinal injuries know that these are among the most painful and debilitating health problems one can endure, resulting in work disruption and a lesser quality of life. When basic treatments do not alleviate the pain, it's time to consider the San Francisco Spine Center at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital.

The Spine Center takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the treatment of spinal problems, focusing on the specific needs of each patient. In every case, our goal is a simple one: to return patients to their jobs and an active lifestyle as soon as possible.

The renowned surgeons at the Spine Center are nationally known for their expertise in correcting failed neck and back surgeries. In addition, they are trained and experienced in advanced surgical procedures for conditions such as spinal deformity, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, bone cancer and related tumors, and spinal fractures.

They are experts in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
