In the spine unit we manage painful conditions affecting the spine from the cervical region to the sacrococcygeal area.

The spine is a complex structure that can generate pain from multiple sources (ligaments, muscles, discs, nerves, joints, among others). Spinal pain is highly disabling and requires a comprehensive evaluation and treatment to achieve adequate success and rehabilitation.
