The NYU Langone Spine Center provides comprehensive care for more than 25,000 adults and children annually, offering both nonsurgical and surgical treatments for degenerative spine conditions and complex spinal deformities. Its multidisciplinary team of 30 specialists, including internationally recognized orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, performs over 4,700 spine procedures each year while emphasizing conservative, patient-centered care. NYU Langone Health has pioneered minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery techniques that have transformed postoperative pain management; a 2024 study demonstrated a 21% reduction in opioid use and a 24% reduction in nonopioid pain medication following these procedures. The program benefits from a robust research enterprise, with more than $5 million in combined funding across its neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery departments. Its collaborative, system-based model streamlines care to reduce unnecessary visits and improve outcomes. NYU Langone’s excellence in neurological and spine care is recognized nationally, with the health system ranked No. 1 in neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report.
