Get Care at the UCH Spine Center
Our Philosophy of Care
The Spine Center at University of Colorado Hospital specializes in treating people with back and neck pain using proven therapies and the latest technologies.
Whether a patient needs physical therapy, medication, spinal injections, surgery, or any combination of these treatments, our skilled spine and back doctors and staff focus on making our patients feel better, happier and healthier in the safest manner possible.
We use a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach among orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists, physical/occupational therapists, psychologists, integrative medicine, and anesthesiologists.
As the sole academic medical center in the region, the Spine Center is the only provider in the Front Range to take such a comprehensive approach to spine and neck care. In fact, because of our high levels of experience, we are regularly asked to evaluate cases as a second opinion.
So, whether you need an initial diagnosis or would simply like to double check an existing one, the Spine Center at the University of Colorado is here to help you.
