Ann Arbor Spine Care
Recognizing the national trend toward a spine Center of Excellence approach for the treatment of back and neck pain, Michigan Brain & Spine created Ann Arbor Spine Care in early 2009. Our goal is to improve the care of back and neck pain with a multidisciplinary approach that emphasizes the best possible treatment options. This includes collaborating with physical medicine physicians to exhaust non-surgical treatment options like spinal injections and spine therapy in advance of spine surgery. If spine surgery is necessary, the spine surgeons at Ann Arbor Spine Care use advanced robotic spine surgery capabilities and surgical navigation technology for the most advanced spine surgery in the State of Michigan. Consequently, back pain and neck pain patients from across Northern Michigan, Western Michigan and Traverse City travel to Ann Arbor Spine Care for a second opinion for spine surgery.
A Team Approach
Ann Arbor Spine Care includes the expertise of board-certified and fellowship-trained neurosurgeons who specialize in spine, working in collaboration with a team of physical medicine & rehabilitation MDs and spine-specialized therapists all located on one common campus on the East side of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The spine team is able to care for any type of back or neck problem, from the simple back or neck strain all the way to the most complex spine surgery. Because Ann Arbor Spine Care has X-ray, MRI, injection therapy and spine therapy on the campus, the back or neck pain patient no longer has to drive around town to multiple locations for care.

Remember: Those who self diagnose themselves and self treat themselves do so at their own risk. Back and neck pain can arise from a variety of causes and may require a spine specialist to perform diagnostic tests to identify your problem and the best treatment. A spine specialized therapist can also create a home exercise program customized for you.
