At Mission Hospital, back support means more than procedures. It means a supportive team of experts dedicated to helping you return to a life free from back and neck pain.

It begins with non-surgical strategies to help you avoid surgery whenever possible. When surgery is necessary, it means making expert use of minimally invasive techniques that minimize the impact of surgery on your body and help you heal faster. After surgery, the support continues with rehabilitation programs designed to help you safely regain movement, function and strength.

The highly experienced back-and-neck team at Mission Spine Center offers the full range of therapeutic options to treat all spinal conditions. We carefully coordinate a personalized treatment and rehabilitation program that matches your unique needs – because back support means more here.
