We’ll Help You Get Your Back and Your Life … Back
If you’re suffering from back pain, you’re not alone. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, nearly 80 percent of people will have low back pain severe enough to require the services of a physician, at some point during their lives. Back pain is also the leading cause of disability in individuals between the ages of 19 and 45.
While these statistics may seem overwhelming, there’s good news in southwest Michigan. Borgess Spine, a regional center of excellence, is specifically designed to help people get their spines—and their lives—back. From the simple strain to the complex spine surgery, we are adept at caring for all types of back and neck problems.
Your Spine Center of Excellence
So what makes our center unique? First and foremost, it’s our
emphasis on non-surgical approaches to back and neck conditions.
Directed by physiatrists (physician specialists in physical medicine
and rehabilitation), Borgess Spine enables individuals to return to
everyday activities, without surgical intervention — 90 percent of
the time. However, if you do require surgery, our experienced neuro
and ortho spine surgeons can handle even the most complex cases,
including herniated discs, spinal fractures, deformities and tumors.
As a Priority Health Spine Center of Excellence and UnitedHealth
Premium®‚ Surgical Spine Specialty Center, Borgess Spine has
exceeded expectations in a wide variety of best-practice criteria,
including procedure volumes, quality, staff, technologies and
outcomes. Borgess Spine is also the area’s only McKenzie-certified
site, receiving some of the most complicated cases of back and
neck pain in Michigan. Recommended as the leading choice for
spinal conditions worldwide, the McKenzie Method empowers
patients to manage their own symptoms, reducing dependency
on medical intervention.
Because we’re a Spine Center of Excellence, we’re able to meet all of
your distinct needs — from diagnosis to physical therapy to surgery. |
