Chicago Back Institute Overview

 Back pain is more than just a medical condition - it interferes with your daily life and can be as painful and debilitating as a chronic illness. At the Chicago Back Institute, our physicians, therapists and staff understand and recognize your desire to regain control of your life and normal function as soon as possible.  With a strong focus on motion preservation procedures and techniques, we are dedicated to helping you restore stability while preserving natural motion.

Here at the Chicago Back Institute, we are uniquely focused on helping you explore all your options, make informed decisions about your care and restore your quality of life. We take a collaborative, conservative approach to care, exploring less aggressive,rehabilitation-focused and complementary treatments — which have proven to be highly effective — before considering surgery.
