The Stanford Orthopaedic Spine Center is designed to work with patients and their families to improve the quality of life for patients with spinal disorders through innovative approaches to diagnosis, treatment, research, and patient education.

Physicians at the Orthopaedic Spine Center see patients requiring spine surgery for traumatic injuries or congenital conditions such as:

• Spondylosis
• Degenerated disc disease
• Stenosis
• Spine fractures
• Scoliosis
• Lordosis
• Arthritis
• Infection
