• Have you tried many treatments including:
  • Injections
  • Occasional physical therapy
  • Chiropractic manipulation
  • Surgery that has not been effective
• Do you or someone who cares for you worry that you may be taking too much medication?
• Do the medications not appear to help?
• Would you like to reduce or stop altogether the medications you are taking for pain?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the UI Spine Center may be able to help you.

Chronic or long-term back or neck pain is a diagnosis that the Spine Center treats separately from surgical or acute (short term) back pain. It is a major problem requiring a unique treatment program. The Rehabilitation Unit for Chronic Spine Pain and our Spine Rehabilitation Program are offered by the Interdisciplinary Spine Rehabilitation Team that specializes in the care and treatment of chronic spine pain.
