At UF Health Spine Center, care is built around the goal of helping patients move better, feel better and return to the life they enjoy.

With one of the Southeast’s most established spine programs, UF Health offers comprehensive care for conditions affecting the back, neck and spine. From everyday pain to complex conditions, the program is designed to provide accessible, advanced treatment supported by leading technology and a personalized approach.

Patients benefit from convenient access to care, including same-day and next-day appointments, a dedicated patient navigator and on-site services such as physical therapy and radiology.
