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.

Dr. Abbasi is currently performing an OLLIF (Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion), a revolutionary technique in minimally invasive spine surgery.

Unlike traditional spine surgery, which often requires large incisions and extensive muscle disruption, OLLIF utilizes smaller incisions and targets the spine from a lateral approach. This method reduces recovery time, minimizes blood loss, and significantly lowers the risk of complications, allowing patients to return to their daily activities much sooner.

If you or someone you know is struggling with back pain, we invite you to connect with Dr. Abbasi to explore how OLLIF can help resolve your pain and improve your quality of life. Your journey to a pain-free life starts here!

Dr. Abbasi is performing a microdiscectomy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve root.

During this surgery, a small incision is made, and the herniated portion of the disc is carefully removed, reducing pressure on the surrounding nerves.

This procedure is highly effective for individuals suffering from sciatica, lower back pain, or pain radiating down the legs.

Benefits of microdiscectomy include quicker recovery, less scarring, and a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.

OLLIF is a cutting-edge technique that allows surgeons to access the spine through a small incision without cutting through major muscles, reducing recovery time and minimizing complications. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or other spine conditions causing chronic back pain.

Cervical Laminoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that relieves pressure on the spinal cord in the neck by removing portions of the lamina, creating more space for the spinal cord and nerve roots.

It is often used for patients with spinal cord compression caused by age-related arthritis, bone spurs, or disc herniation, and is especially beneficial for elderly patients.

Dr. Abbasi is dedicated to helping patients find relief through advanced pain management techniques, one of which is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA).

This minimally invasive procedure targets specific nerves that transmit pain signals, using heat generated by radiofrequency waves to disrupt their function. By effectively interrupting these signals, RFA can significantly alleviate chronic pain, providing long-lasting relief for conditions such as arthritis, spinal pain, and nerve-related issues.

Radiofrequency Ablation is particularly beneficial for patients who have not found sufficient relief from traditional pain management methods or those seeking to avoid surgery. With its precision and minimal recovery time, RFA offers a promising alternative for individuals struggling with persistent pain.

Dr. Abbasi is preforming an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) procedure, a minimally invasive surgery designed to relieve neck pain, numbness, and weakness caused by herniated discs or degenerative disc disease.

During this procedure, the damaged disc is removed, and the surrounding vertebrae are fused together, promoting stability and pain relief in the cervical spine.

ACDF is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing chronic neck pain that radiates down their arms or those with cervical myelopathy. By addressing the root cause of their discomfort, we empower our patients to reclaim their quality of life.

Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints, affecting millions of people worldwide.

Whether caused by injury, degenerative changes, or other underlying conditions, back pain can significantly impact your daily life.

While many cases of back pain improve with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or rest, some patients require more advanced interventions.

For individuals with persistent or severe back pain, spine injections offer a minimally invasive solution to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.

Spine injections can be an effective way to manage chronic back pain and improve quality of life for patients who haven't found relief through conservative treatments.

Seen here is our dedicated circulating nurse carefully opening the sterile packaging containing the correct pedicle screw size, as measured intraoperatively by Dr. Abbasi, all while adhering to strict sterile techniques.

A common approach for passing instruments sterilely is the aseptic transfer method. This technique ensures no contact is made with the sterile field by opening the packaging away from the sterile area, allowing the screw to drop onto a sterile surface or into the hands of the sterile assistant without contamination.

Once the sterile pedicle screw is opened, it is passed to the physician assistant, who verifies that the correct size has been prepared. The pedicle screw is then loaded onto the appropriate driver, ready for Dr. Abbasi to secure it into the patient’s pedicle and vertebral body with precision and care.

Every step in this process is conducted under strict sterile protocols, emphasizing our commitment to patient safety and minimizing the risk of infection. We believe that meticulous attention to detail in our surgical procedures is crucial for successful outcomes and the overall well-being of our patients.
