Inspired Spine

Inspired Spine is a total spine care provider committed to treating back and neck pain using advanced, minimally invasive procedures.

Inspired Spine has worked to develop technologies and procedures that not only address the patient’s original concern of back pain, but also address the possible economic concern of reduced income during a recovery period. Inspired Spine procedures reduce the length of spinal surgical procedures. Traditional spinal surgery addressing one disk can take about 4 hours. You can expect to be in the hos

pital for up to 5 days, and there will be a doctor recommendation for 3 months post-surgical recuperation. In contrast, the same diagnosis of a herniated one level spinal disk with an Inspired Spine procedure will have your surgical time be 45 minutes. You will be home sleeping in your own bed the same day the surgery took place, and you will be asked to engage in “no sweat” activities for 2-3 weeks. No sweat activities is as it means. You can enjoy walks, go out for dinner, and sit at your desk working on the computer. Activities such as running, cutting wood, or snowmobiling would be discouraged. However, sitting in an ice fishing house, walking the dog, or attending business meeting are all completely acceptable. Of course a patient’s health pre-surgery has much to do with determining what activities would be best for them, and they and their doctor will discuss post-surgery activities on a case by case basis.

Your back may not be where your pain starts.

Pain isn’t always felt at the exact location of the problem. When a nerve in the spine becomes irritated or compressed, pain can travel along the nerve’s pathway and may be felt in the hip, buttock, or leg.

This is why identifying the source of your symptoms is so important. Treating only the area where you feel pain may not always address what’s causing it.

If you’re experiencing back pain that travels into your hip or leg, or symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness, a proper evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to your discomfort.

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve occurs when a nearby structure puts pressure on a nerve. This pressure can interfere with normal nerve function and may lead to symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.

These symptoms can affect your daily activities and, depending on the cause and severity, may require medical evaluation.

Understanding what may be behind your symptoms is an important first step toward finding the right treatment.

Experiencing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness?
Don’t ignore persistent symptoms. A personalized evaluation can help identify the cause and guide you toward appropriate treatment options.

What Is Spinal Fusion Surgery?

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that joins two or more vertebrae together to help stabilize the spine. But when is fusion considered, and what does recovery look like?

Spinal fusion may be recommended for certain conditions, including spinal instability, severe degeneration, and spondylolisthesis.

In this post, learn what spinal fusion involves, why it may be recommended, how the spine heals, and what can influence recovery.

A personalized evaluation can help you better understand your condition and determine the next step.

Less Than 24 Hours After a 3-Level Fusion… He Was Already Walking.

Before surgery, this patient was experiencing significant low back pain that traveled down his left leg. Walking had become extremely difficult and was affecting his everyday life.

Less than 24 hours after his 3-level fusion, we checked in with him about his recovery.

His response?

“Leg pain is down to close to nothing right now.”

He was already up and walking with assistance and getting close to moving on his own.

Every patient's recovery is different, but hearing directly from patients about their experience helps others understand what recovery can look like after spine surgery.

Watch his story to hear about his symptoms before surgery and what he experienced less than 24 hours afterward.

5 Daily Habits That Can Impact Your Spine Health

Your everyday routine can play a role in how your spine feels and functions. Small, consistent changes may help support a healthier back and better movement.

Here are 5 habits worth paying attention to:

1️⃣ Poor posture - Slouching can place additional stress on your spine.
2️⃣ Lack of movement - Regular movement helps maintain strength and flexibility.
3️⃣ Improper lifting - Using proper lifting technique can help reduce unnecessary strain on your back.
4️⃣ Smoking - Smoking can negatively affect spinal health and the body's ability to heal.
5️⃣ Ignoring symptoms - Persistent pain, numbness, or weakness should not be overlooked and may need medical evaluation.

Your spine supports you every day. Taking care of it starts with the habits you practice every day.

If back or neck symptoms are persistent or affecting your daily life, consider speaking with a spine specialist about your options.

After Multiple Spine Surgeries, His Life Changed Again.

For years, pain kept affecting his work, daily activities, and the things he enjoyed doing.

Even a simple activity like helping pull a deer could leave him unable to get out of bed for a week and a half.

Then, after his latest procedure, he noticed something different.

Even while he was still recovering, the constant pain and pressure he had become used to were gone.

“It was like I was freed up. I could tell right away.”

This is his personal recovery experience, and every patient's journey is different. But stories like his show why finding the right treatment approach can matter when chronic pain continues to affect everyday life.

How is OLLIF different from traditional open back surgery?

As a spine surgeon, this is an important question I discuss with patients who are considering spine surgery.

With OLLIF, we use a different approach to access the spine. We approach from the side, access the affected area, remove the damaged disc, and place a spacer packed with material to support bone growth and the fusion process.

The surgical approach is an important part of treatment. Understanding how a procedure is performed can help you have a more informed conversation with your spine specialist about your options.

Watch the video as I explain how OLLIF differs from traditional open surgery.
