UT Southwestern Medical Center has launched a multidisciplinary Spine Center that features top physicians from diverse fields who work together to treat one of the most common problems plaguing our aging society: back pain.
The facility, based in the Outpatient Building at 1801 Inwood Road, offers a complete range of care in one location, from diagnosis to treatment to follow-up with referring physicians. Physicians, surgeons and therapists are on site to craft individualized treatment plans that are synchronized to preserve and restore motion.
More than eight in 10 people — nearly 60 million Americans — report having back pain. It is the leading cause of disability and the second-leading cause of missed work, costing billions of dollars annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
