    A Multidisciplinary approach to back & neck pain

    In September 2009, Summit Orthopedics opened a 38,000 square foot orthopedic building in Woodbury, Minnesota, which represents one of the largest orthopedic specialty centers in the Minneapolis / St. Paul Minnesota area. The facility also includes Summit Spinecare, a new Spine Center of Excellence with non-surgical spine specialists, spine surgeons, diagnostics, exercise gym and spine-specialized therapists all under one roof.
