Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Spine

The Penn Spine Center at Penn Medicine provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with low back pain, neck pain, and other spinal conditions. The Penn Spine Center is a sophisticated and comprehensive facility that offers state-of-the-art imaging and advanced diagnostic tools. Our physiatrists collaborate with surgeons and specialty therapists from multiple disciplines to coordinate a minimally invasive treatment plan aimed at improving the quality of life for patients with spine disorders.

Providing Individualized Care

At Penn we recognize that no two patients are the same and as a result provide individualized care to meet the unique needs of each patient. Physiatrists create a rehabilitative treatment plan that meets the specific needs of each patient by recognizing the impact their spine condition is having on all aspects of their life. The goal of our program is designed to restore our patients to their highest physical, social and emotional potential.
