A Message From Our Program Leader
Motion is Lotion: Motion preservation is the future of treating the degenerating spine. Preservation of motion for the human spine is the dedicated focus of our initiatives.
About Our Program
The Research Institute’s NeuroSurgical Program is dedicated to delivering innovative care through advanced surgical techniques and groundbreaking research. A central focus of the program is the development and implementation of technologies that regenerate the lumbar disc and preserve motion in both the lumbar and cervical spine, offering patients less invasive options with improved long-term outcomes.
Our care team includes board-certified neurosurgeons who specialize in minimally invasive procedures, ensuring high-quality care with reduced recovery times. The program’s research portfolio is robust and continually evolving. Current studies explore a wide range of conditions, including back pain, herniated and degenerative disc disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis. Investigators are also engaged in clinical trials focused on cervical and lumbar spine surgery, motion-preserving devices, and biologic therapies aimed at disc regeneration.
In addition, the program is involved in device trials that evaluate the safety and efficacy of next-generation surgical implants, artificial discs in particular, and tools designed to enhance precision and outcomes in spine surgery.
By integrating clinical expertise with research innovation, the NeuroSurgical Program is shaping the future of spine care, bringing transformative solutions to patients and contributing to the advancement of neurosurgical science.
NeuroSurgical Facts and Figures
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting individuals of all ages and significantly impacting daily activities, work productivity, and overall quality of life.
Minimally invasive surgeries significantly reduce the risk of infection due to smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and shorter hospital stays. These procedures not only enhance recovery times but also improve overall patient safety and outcomes.
Lower back pain, or pain in the lumbar region, is the most common type of back pain.
