Our spine specialists treat a large number of patients in St. Louis, from throughout the region and beyond. The team is equally skilled in treating straightforward spinal disorders, such as herniated discs and back pain, as they are in treating complicated disorders, such as tumors of the spine.

For non-surgical treatment of spinal disorders, our team collaborates with physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitation and physiatry services, and pain management. WashU Medicine spine surgeons are associated with The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, providing world-leading services for patients with spinal disorders.
