Back & Spine

Your spine has many important jobs. It protects the delicate spinal cord and helps you to walk, more your arms and legs, and perform daily tasks.

When the spine is damaged or deformed, these daily tasks or any movement can be painful - and even impossible. The good news is, each day, the specialists at the Forsyth Stroke & Neurosciences Institute help patients recover the ability to move without the pain, allowing them to resume their normal lives and activities.

For patients with back pain, spinal fractures, deformities or disc herniation (a "slipped" disc) who cannot be healed with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, the spine experts at the Forsyth Stroke & Neurosciences Institute are skilled in the most advanced surgical procedures available.

And because many of those procedures are minimally invasive, recovery can be faster and less painful, and patients can get ack to their lives quickly - often the same day.
