Located at UPMC Passavant-McCandless, the Patient Pavilion has a dedicated spine care unit where our nationally recognized neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons use the most advanced surgical treatments for a full range of spine conditions and disorders.
Back and neck pain can at times, be treated successfully with nonsurgical therapies and rehabilitation. We start with the least invasive approach to relieve your pain, restore function, and improve mobility.
When surgery is needed, our team of surgeons, doctors and therapists provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to help maximize the success of your surgical procedure. Our nationally respected surgeons offer the latest non-invasive neck and spine procedures at the state-of-the-art Patient Pavilion at nearby UPMC Passavant-McCandless, featuring custom designed neurosurgical operating suites, as well as spacious, private patient rooms.
The spine care unit’s neurological operating suites are custom designed for use in spinal surgery. Each is equipped with the latest technology, including specialized software used during surgery to create a 3-D model of the spine in seconds for a real-time view of the patient’s anatomy.
