The Science of Healing
Follow SLUCare orthopedic surgeons as they offer renewed life to patients with extreme spinal conditions.
From diagnosing curvature of the spine in adolescents to treating geriatric degenerative diseases of the spine, SLUCare provides comprehensive back and neck care for children and adults. We offer the latest surgical techniques for both trauma-related and degenerative spinal problems, using treatments ranging from small "keyhole" incisions on discs to major reconstruction of the spine.
We also treat a spectrum of spinal fractures and spinal cord injuries and are among the St. Louis region's most experienced doctors treating Level I spinal injuries.
Our doctors use the latest technologies to diagnose back and neck pain: electromyography (nerve conduction test), MRI, CT, CT myelogram (an x-ray of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots).

Treatment options may include physical therapy, activity modification, medication or injections. Our team will help you create a plan that fits your needs and your lifestyle.
