Spine

Dr. David Shapiro
Section Head, Spine

The spine is one of the most important parts of the body; it allows us to stand and move and it protects the spinal cord. When a patient is experiencing back or neck pain, the entire body is affected. Simple conditions such as herniated discs or more complex ailments such as scoliosis or spine fractures require the expertise of an orthopaedic spine surgeon.

Evanston Northwestern Healthcare’s spine surgeons offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment of spinal disorders and diseases. Using the appropriate surgical or non-surgical method, a plan is designed to correct the back disorder, relieve pain and get the patient back to an active life.
