Education and Support
As part of the body’s musculoskeletal system, the spine includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Injuries or conditions of the spine can cause pain and decrease your ability to move comfortably.
At Premier Health, we provide education and information you can use to improve your health and learn more about available preventive and treatment options.
