Ayer Neuroscience Institute Spine Care

The Ayer Neuroscience Institute has simplified our approach to complex spine care, with a team of experts leading the way.

Instead of traveling to one central location, we bring comprehensive spine care to you at locations across the state. At any location, we always seek the most conservative treatment first. Our team believes that by optimizing your overall health and wellness, you can often avoid surgery.

Whether you have a traumatic spinal injury or are dealing with chronic pain from a herniated disc, arthritis or sciatica, our experts are committed to customizing a treatment plan that fits your life. With our comprehensive care model, we devise the best possible treatment.

As a regional leader in robotic surgical technology, the Ayer Neuroscience Institute provides more advanced treatment options for spine surgery than ever. We use the most sophisticated surgeon-guided robotic technology available to reduce pain and promote faster recovery.
