In July 2008, the University of Kansas will open the new KU Spine Center. The new center will be spearheaded by physical medicine and rehabilitation and include orthopedics, neurosurgery, rheumatology, neurology, anesthesiology, and psychiatry in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of back pain and spinal disorders.
The KU Spine Center will be arguably the most comprehensive spine center in the country. The new facility will be a 25,000 square foot area located in the main hospital entrance; a place where all services are integrated into one setting together in one location. Some of the services provided include: X-ray diagnostics, Botox injections, EMGs and interventional pain procedures. Dr. George Varghese, M.D. has been appointed as medical director of the spine center.
