Vater Spine is the unique merger of three distinct sub specialties making this practice the first and only medical group in Nevada that treats the full spectrum of neurological and musculoskeletal problems.

The Vater Spine center provides the highest quality of care available for its patients.

Quality of life restoration is our main objective. Therefore, all modern procedures are available in this comprehensive spine practice. Our conservative treatment includes but is not limited to: rest, controlled exercises and therapy, work modification, anti-inflammatory medication, and a trial of pain management if necessary. One should find comfort however, that the majority of back and neck problems can be resolved without surgery, sometimes even with a good vacation!
