The Right Spine Care, From Day One

If you are looking for world class spine care, you’ve found it. At Mayo Clinic, we know how delicate spine injuries and conditions can be, and how important it is to find the right treatment plan to not only address your current concerns, but also make sure you preserve your spine health for the future.


Sometimes the right procedure is no procedure. And sometimes you just need an expert to have your best interest in mind and guide you to the approach that’s right for you and your condition. We customize a care plan by considering expertise across specialties including neurophysiology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, orthopedics spine surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and sports medicine. With all that expertise working together, you can rest assured you will be in good hands.

The benefits of expertise.

As a Mayo Clinic patient, you will have access to a team of physicians with expertise in virtually every aspect of human healing who are not only focused on your best possible care plan, but also working to make your entire experience better, smoother, and safer. Through the course of your care, your team works to:

Avoid unnecessary procedures.

Mayo Clinic experts are paid a fixed salary. They are not paid based on the number of procedures or tests ordered. This means we will recommend surgery only when necessary, and when other less-invasive approaches have been ruled out.

Reduce hospital stays.

Many people who undergo spine care at Mayo Clinic leave the hospital in one or two days, thanks to our advanced technology and ability to perform minimally invasive procedures. This allows you to get home and get healing, sooner.

Lower complication rates and shorten recovery times.

Complications in any procedure can delay your recovery time. Our use of surgery enhancing technology—like robotic-assisted surgery—allows for greater precision, which leads to smaller incisions and scars, lower complications rates, and a quicker return to everyday activities.

World-class care and compassion.

More than 40,000 adults and children with spine disorders come to Mayo Clinic each year.


Our teams work across medical specialties and locations, so you can feel comfortable knowing you are receiving the collaborative benefit of all Mayo Clinic expertise that applies to your condition.


You and your specific care are our focus. Each Mayo Clinic physician’s primary incentive is to take the best possible care of you.

The power of advanced diagnostics.

Accurately diagnosing and understanding your spine condition is critical for determining the most effective treatment and achieving better outcomes. Mayo Clinic’s experts use advanced technology and diagnostic tools, including:

  • Advanced neuroimaging (MRI or CT myelography)
  • Electrodiagnostic evaluation to better define the localization and extent of spine related neurogenic injury and to exclude conditions that mimic spine disease
  • Assessment of bone health
  • Screening for autoimmune, inflammatory spine disease

Access to cutting-edge treatment.

Many Mayo Clinic physicians are also researchers. This means we bring the most advanced discoveries in medical science to patients faster through cutting-edge research and clinical trials, such as:

  • Robotic advances that aim to improve accuracy and patient outcomes, especially in complex deformity cases or spinal fusion.
  • 3D printing technology for surgical planning, and precision that leverages advances in radiology.
  • Emerging regenerative medicine treatment options, including biological therapies for degenerative spine conditions.

Your path to recovery.

Our care continues even after your treatment. Mayo Clinic offers a full suite of physical rehabilitation and recovery therapies. Often, our teams will work with your local providers to develop a plan for convenient, ongoing care.
