Experts in spine surgery: Put an end to back pain

Whether you’ve been dealing with chronic neck or lower back pain, a herniated disc, a traumatic injury or a condition such as degenerative disc disease or spinal stenosis, our comprehensive spine surgery team will help you get back to enjoying your favorite activities without bouts of debilitating pain.

For 14 years straight, University of Wisconsin Hospitals have been ranked No. 1 in Wisconsin, according to U.S. News & World Report. Our nationally recognized spine surgery team is led by fellowship-trained neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons. They work together to determine the best treatment options for specific cases, supporting each other in the operating room and developing best practices for patient safety and outcomes.

Our collaborative care team also includes experts in spine rehabilitation, physical therapy, pain management, health psychology, behavioral health, social work and nursing, allowing you to receive all aspects of your care within one cohesive system.

Every referral submitted to our spine program, including self-referrals, is reviewed by a spine surgeon who recommends the best treatment plan for each specific case.

Minimally invasive spine surgery

Back surgery once meant big scars and long recoveries. Today, we use the latest minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, including endoscopic and percutaneous procedures. This means our patients experience:

• Smaller incisions

• Less pain

• Lower risk of infection

• Shorter hospital stays

• Faster recovery

Our spine surgeons use advanced surgical navigation and robotic technology to enhance precision and safety for patients.

Insurance coverage

Getting top-notch care shouldn’t be difficult. That’s why we offer care at nine locations across southern Wisconsin.
