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.

One of the most important parts of spine care goes beyond the operating room—it’s about building trust with patients. Dr. Abbasi believes that trust is earned through honesty, education, and clear communication, so patients know exactly what to expect every step of their journey.

From the first visit, when patients come in with pain, to treatment and recovery, and ultimately to returning to the hobbies they love and spending more quality time with family—trust remains the foundation. When patients feel informed and supported, they feel confident in their path toward a pain-free life.

If you’re not fully confident in the treatment options that have been presented to you, or the surgeon you’ve seen, we encourage you to seek a second opinion with Dr. Abbasi. The right guidance can make all the difference in your recovery and your future.

Dr. Abbasi recently performed a Microdiscectomy, one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for patients suffering from painful herniated discs.

A microdiscectomy involves removing the small portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve—relieving pressure, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients experiencing sciatica, leg pain, numbness, or weakness that hasn’t improved with conservative treatments.

Because the surgery is minimally invasive, recovery is typically much faster compared to traditional open procedures. Most patients are up and walking within hours and can often return to normal activities within a few weeks—regaining not only movement but also quality of life.

If you’re living with back pain, leg pain, or considering a second opinion, we invite you to connect with us to explore whether a microdiscectomy could be the right solution for you.

It’s always inspiring when expert surgeons from around the world come together to share knowledge and advance the field of spine surgery. Dr. Abbasi recently reconnected with Dr. Mayur Kardile, Orthopedic Surgeon, in India after previously welcoming him to our Surgery Center and Surgery Lab in the U.S.

These collaborations highlight the importance of exchanging ideas, refining techniques, and educating one another on the latest advancements in minimally invasive spine surgery. By connecting globally, surgeons strengthen their ability to deliver safer procedures, quicker recoveries, and better outcomes for patients everywhere.

At Inspired Spine, we believe progress in spine care happens when innovation and collaboration go hand in hand—and we’re proud to be part of this global conversation.

During an OLLIF surgery, our PA-C Alyssa plays a key role by mixing bone marrow with tricalcium phosphate and packing it into a titanium spacer. Once ready, she hands it to Dr. Abbasi, who places it into the patient’s spine.

Why does this matter?
🔹 The bone marrow + tricalcium phosphate blend encourages bone growth
🔹 The titanium spacer restores stability
🔹 Patients experience faster healing and lasting pain relief

Every member of our surgical team is vital in helping patients get their lives back—pain-free.

At Inspired Spine, precision matters. That’s why we offer Bilateral SIJ (Sacroiliac Joint) steroid injections—a treatment that not only relieves inflammation but also helps us pinpoint the true source of your pain.

SIJ dysfunction can feel like:
✔️ Pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips
✔️ Pain when climbing stairs, standing for long periods, or shifting weight
✔️ Difficulty moving without stiffness

If you’ve been struggling with unresolved back or hip pain, it may not be your spine at all—it could be your SI joint. Don’t settle for unanswered questions. A second opinion could change everything.

Dr. Abbasi is performing an ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) — a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves caused by herniated discs or degenerative changes in the cervical spine.

The results are life-changing: patients who struggled with neck pain, arm pain, numbness, and weakness often experience immediate relief and rapid recovery. Many are walking the same day and going home shortly after surgery, resuming normal life much faster than with traditional open surgery.

It’s important more people know about ACDF as a minimally invasive option. Unlike older techniques that require large incisions and long recovery times, minimally invasive ACDF is performed with smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced risk of complications, and quicker return to daily activities.

👉 If you or someone you know is living with chronic neck or arm pain, don’t wait.
