Inspired Spine

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 hospital 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.

What does “normal life” look like after spine surgery?

Recovery is not just about healing from a procedure. It is about getting back to the activities, routines, and moments that make everyday life meaningful.

Every patient has different goals and expectations. That is why understanding what you want to get back to doing is such an important part of discussing spine surgery.

The right treatment plan should be built around the individual, not just the diagnosis.

If you’re considering spine surgery, take the time to discuss your goals, treatment options, and expected recovery with your spine specialist.

Why can some spine problems make walking difficult?

Your spine and nervous system play an important role in movement and sensation. When certain spine conditions affect or compress the nerves, they can sometimes lead to symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty walking.

If you're experiencing persistent changes in walking or leg symptoms, getting the underlying cause evaluated can be an important step.

A collapsed disc can change more than just the space between your vertebrae.

When a spinal disc loses height, it can change the spacing and structure of the spine. These changes may develop over time due to aging, wear and tear, injury, or disc degeneration.

However, not every person with a collapsed or thinner disc will experience the same effects.

Understanding the changes in your spine can help you have a more informed conversation about your care and available options.

When one vertebra shifts out of alignment, it can affect the stability of your spine.

Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra shifts forward or backward in relation to another. Depending on the condition, it may contribute to lower back pain, stiffness, or symptoms that extend into the legs.

Understanding the cause of your symptoms is an important first step toward finding the right treatment approach.

Did you know? The location of your pain can provide important clues.

When back pain travels into the leg, it may be related to irritation or compression of a spinal nerve. Symptoms like tingling, numbness, or weakness can also occur.

If symptoms persist or affect your daily activities, consider getting evaluated.

What exactly is OLLIF, and what could it mean for someone considering lumbar spine surgery?

OLLIF (Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion) is a minimally invasive approach to lumbar spinal fusion. The procedure removes a damaged disc and places a spacer between the vertebrae to help stabilize the spine, using a smaller access point intended to minimize disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues.

For eligible patients, this approach may offer potential benefits such as:

✓ Less disruption to surrounding muscles
✓ A smaller incision
✓ Shorter hospital stay
✓ Potentially faster recovery

However, spine surgery isn't one-size-fits-all. Every condition and every patient is different. Your diagnosis, symptoms, imaging, and overall health all play a role in determining which treatment may be appropriate.

Swipe through to learn how OLLIF works and what makes this approach minimally invasive.

She tried medications. Physical therapy. Every type of shot. She did everything she was told to do, but nothing was helping.

For 4–5 years, pain had taken control of her life.

Her back and right leg were constantly hurting, and she was falling down frequently. Over time, the pain only became worse.

But after treatment, she began noticing changes she hadn't been able to experience for years.

She could lie on her right hip. Lift her right leg. And slowly start getting her life back.

When asked if she was happy with her results, she became emotional and said:

“I’m so happy. I came in here crying because I’m so appreciative of what you’ve done for me.” ❤️

This is her personal experience and journey.

Numbness Is a Symptom, Not a Diagnosis.

Numbness in your leg or foot isn't something you should automatically dismiss. While there can be many possible causes, problems involving the nerves in or around the spine can sometimes contribute to numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness.

The key is understanding what's causing the symptom.

If numbness is persistent, keeps returning, is getting worse, or is affecting your movement or daily activities, a proper medical evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment options.

Your symptoms are telling you something. Don't ignore them.

Why does back pain keep coming back?

If your back pain keeps returning, there may be an underlying cause that needs attention. One possible reason is Degenerative Disc Disease, where the spinal discs gradually wear down over time and may contribute to ongoing back pain.

Understanding the cause is the first step toward better spine health.

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.
