Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, established in 1940, is now one of the nation's largest and most highly respected neurosurgical private practices. The medical group provides brain and spine care services, including adult and pediatric neurosurgery, spine surgery, physiatry, neurology, pain management, and physical therapy. They offer advanced surgical and non-surgical treatment for the entire spectrum of brain, spine, and peripheral nerve disorders, including brain tumors, spine deformities and injuries, stroke, epilepsy, congenital anomalies, concussions, neck and lower back pain, and pituitary tumors.
Throughout the group’s history, its commitment to advancing the science and delivery of brain and spine care has remained the driving force for its success. The group comprises 48 physicians, 44 advanced practice providers, and over 550 employees. With ten office locations, the group plays a primary role in bringing the latest, technologically advanced neurosurgical therapies to adults and children across the Carolinas.
The Headed for Hope 5K is hosted by Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates. Previously, this event was called Back On Track and was created as a way to celebrate our ongoing commitment to our community and patients through advanced brain and spine research. This year, our event is rebranded as "Headed for Hope," which was named to inspire and ignite a community movement to impact brain tumor research, awareness, and education. All proceeds from this event will benefit medical research, care, and support for patients with brain tumors through the Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation.
The Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
