Duke Resources

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for health care visits. Fortunately, most back pain responds to conservative treatment.

For conditions that require surgery, Duke patients benefit from the experience of surgeons who perform thousands of procedures each year. The skilled surgeons at Duke specialize in minimally invasive spinal surgery for the treatment of disc disease, tumors, spinal stenosis, or fracture.

Our patients travel from across the country and around the world in order to experience the quality of medicine that Duke delivers.

Duke is not just a destination for patients who have already been diagnosed; as a level I trauma center, we are also a large referral center for injuries involving the neck and spine. No matter your condition, your injury will be approached with state-of-the-art instrumentation.
