Snow shoveling can bring unwelcome back problems. There are a number of tips that you can keep in mind to prevent back injury as you clear off the snow.  To read my article that was featured on the State Journal Register's website, behealthyspringfield.com, please click here.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the site of the Spine Center of Illinois, a division of the Orthopedic Center of Illinois. It is our goal to provide the only fully comprehensive spine care center in central Illinois rendering our center a true center of clinical excellence, and education in operative and non-operative spine care. We offer an array of complementary services allowing for the comprehensive treatment of both simple and complex problems all at the same location without having to travel to different geographic areas. We hold of utmost importance providing a truly first rate patient experience from the initial greeting to discharge back to health. We understand the importance of treatment outcomes and track this in our Center of Excellence. Please check out the Spine Center of Illinois for more information on our spine services.

If you've been treated here for spine-related problems, we'd love to hear from you.

Best,
Tim VanFleet, M.D.
