Back, Neck & Spine Care
Back, Neck & Spine Care at UVM Health
Your spine is a complex collection of bones, cushioning, nerves and soft tissues that runs through your neck and back. It provides support to keep you upright, helps you move and serves as a pathway for nerve signals. Any condition or injury affecting your spine can significantly alter your function and day-to-day activities.
At University of Vermont Health, we offer the largest spine program in Vermont and northern New York. With decades of experience providing personalized, advanced care for a full range of spinal problems, we have the skill to help you get back to the life you love.
