Our Expert Spine Team
Physicians and patients worldwide contact our Spine Program surgeons for their opinions on spine surgery. Our surgeons have performed hundreds of spine procedures and have written textbook chapters and peer-reviewed papers on the subject. They have also taught other surgeons how to use treatment approaches to treat back and neck pain and other problems.
In addition to caring for patients, UChicago Medicine surgeons are also world-class researchers. They are always looking for new ways to use minimally invasive approaches to reduce back pain and increase mobility.
