Spine Program

Spine Care at CVMC

The Spine Program at Central Vermont Medical Center is committed to providing personalized care to patients with back pain, neck pain and spinal disorders. We take a comprehensive approach to evaluate your condition, understand your symptoms, and find the most appropriate, least invasive treatment to help you live a better, more active life.

Our comprehensive non-surgical back health services offer patients local access to diagnostics and non-surgical treatments for back care. Through the involvement of local primary care, anesthesia/pain management, interventional pain, psychiatry, and physical and occupational therapy experts, we help patients better manage back pain here in your home community.

Unique to our Spine Program is our close collaboration with UVM Medical Center. Four spine surgeons from UVM Medical Center see patients in here at CVMC, providing surgical consultations and follow-up exams close to home for Central Vermont patients. If surgery is determined to be the best course of treatment by the patient, family, and provider team, it is completed in Burlington by these same four surgeons, providing patients with fast access to surgical care.
