Spine Center of Excellence

Your spine is the foundation for all other parts of your skeletal system. When injured or diseased, the spine can severely lower your quality of life and make going about your day-to-day activities extremely difficult.

Team-Centered Care for Spine Conditions

Here at the Dignity Health Neurological Institute of Northern California, we realize the importance of your spine's health and provide comprehensive spine care in a collaborative environment. We combine careful diagnosis, education, physical therapy, medications and, if needed, interventions such as epidurals or surgical consultation, to get your spine in the best possible shape.

Conditions treated:

  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal fractures
  • Spinal deformity
  • Spine tumors
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative scoliosis
  • Spinal vascular malformations

Mercy General Hospital and Mercy San Juan Medical Center are the only two hospitals north of the Bay Area to be designated by The Joint Commission as Spine Centers of Excellence, and Mercy General Hospital is one of only two Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Distinction© Centers for spine surgery in the Sacramento region. As a part of Dignity Health Neurological Institute's comprehensive spine care continuum, treatment options are also available at Mercy Hospital of Folsom and Woodland Memorial Hospital.
