Florida Spine Associates is a premier, multidisciplinary spine specialty private practice specializing in world-class orthopedic spine surgery, interventional pain management, and dedicated physical therapy. With regional clinics spanning South Florida — including Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Wellington, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale — our elite team of board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians is dedicated to restoring our patients' quality of life using cutting-edge, innovative technologies.
