Spine Health Center at Saddleback Medical Center

Are you one of the 50 million people in the United States experiencing neck or back pain?

Are everyday activities such as carrying your groceries, swinging a golf club or lifting a child becoming unbearable? You are not alone.

We created the Spine Health Center with three goals in mind:

• Relieve your pain
• Restore your independence
• Get you back to work and daily activities as quickly as possible

You need support at a time like this. That’s why we’re here.

Here are some of our highlights:

• We use a multi-pronged approach to pain management so we find what is best for you and your specific situation

Your Hospital Experience

On the day of surgery, you will be admitted to a unit dedicated to the care of patients undergoing surgery. During your stay, our team of expert surgeons, specially trained nurses, therapists and technicians will work together to provide you with care and support, help manage your pain, assist you with mobility and prepare you for a safe transition to home.
