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 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.

Why does back pain sometimes travel down your leg?

Have you ever wondered why a problem in your lower back can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in your leg?

The source of the pain and where you actually feel it aren't always the same.

Your spine contains nerves that travel throughout your body. When one of these nerves becomes irritated or compressed, symptoms can travel along its pathway, sometimes from the lower back into the buttock, hip, or leg.

You may experience:

🔹 Pain that travels down the leg
🔹 Tingling or pins-and-needles
🔹 Numbness

These symptoms can have different causes, so understanding what's behind them is an important part of finding the right treatment.

Don't ignore the signal. If your symptoms are persistent, worsening, or affecting your daily activities, consider getting evaluated by a spine specialist.

From taking care of his property to mowing the lawn and clearing snow, he's back to doing the things he enjoys without letting back pain dictate his day.

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.
