The spine, or backbone, is an intricate structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. The most basic activities, like standing and bending, to more serious complications such as spinal disease, can change the structure of the spine or damage surrounding tissue causing pain and limiting movement.

The American Chiropractic Association estimates that more than 80 percent of Americans will experience back pain at some time in their lives. To help deal with this concerning trend, the specialists at the Spine and Pain Center at the George Washington University Hospital focus on working with patients who have acute and chronic spinal conditions to reduce disability, improve function and ease pain.

Offering nonsurgical options such as injections, implantable devices and physical therapy, as well as minimally invasive surgical procedures, The GW Spine and Pain Center is helping patients find relief from back pain and get active again.
