At the USC Spine Center, we understand and treat the varied and complex issues that are associated with the neck and the back. Together, our experts offer comprehensive and coordinated care, customizing each patient’s treatment plan with his or her specific needs and condition in mind.
Our conservative approach to spine care includes providing the most appropriate treatment options — both nonsurgical and surgical. As part of our complete range of comprehensive care, our services also include diagnostic testing, interventional pain management, occupational therapy and physical therapy.
Our spine specialists are dedicated to developing new techniques for spine surgery and participate in clinical trials that are finding new and effective approaches to alleviate spine and back pain.
