Herniated Disc

Herniated Disc 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.

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 the full range of spinal problems, we have the skill to help you get back to the life you love.
