A National Spine Institute “Center of Excellence”
The human spine is truly a marvel of engineering and design. Strong enough to support the weight of the head, the spine is still flexible enough to allow us to walk, sit, dance and move. Unfortunately, 31 million Americans - that's one in nine - suffer from spine problems including chronic lower back pain, disease or trauma. These problems cause pain, limited mobility and disability; and often lead to a seriously reduced quality of life.
