Spine Care at Baylor

Back problems are the most common physical complaint among American adults. The Baylor University Medical Center Orthopaedics department is one of the busiest in the area, performing more spinal reconstruction surgeries and treating more spinal deformities, tumors and traumas than almost any other area hospital. This volume allows our specialists to most accurately diagnose and treat spinal conditions. A key part of the treatment and recovery process for Baylor spinal patients is the development of a specialized exercise program.

Baylor physicians offer a wide range of diagnostic and treatment options for patients suffering from spinal injuries or conditions. They are among only a few surgeons in North Texas offering the latest disc replacement surgery.

Rehabilitation of spine injuries can be done on either an inpatient or outpatient basis. The Baylor Rehabilitation System offers several locations so patients can continue their recovery close to work or home. Find an inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation location near you.
