Rush surgeons excel in the diagnosis and treatment of complex spine conditions, including herniated discs, scoliosis, work injuries, neck pain, spine tumors and osteoporosis. The Osteoporosis Treatment Center at the Rush Arthritis and Orthopedics Institute is a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Rush sponsors educational outreach programs to increase awareness of the disease and to improve early detection and prevention. Our sports medicine experts care for athletes of all ages and skill levels, including professional athletes and dancers from around the country. But most of our patients are people who play sports for fun.
