We are incredibly grateful for our patients and honored each time someone shares their story. This testimonial is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do at Inland Northwest Spine every day.

Patient Testimonial:
โ€œI have been a patient with Dr. Blaty for several years. I have struggled with lower back issues for more than 10 years. Finally took Drโ€™s advice and had a lumbar fusion. I cannot say enough positive things about a robotic fusion surgery. Scared to death to do it, but after much research decided to go forward with it. Iโ€™m so glad I did! It changed my lifeโ€ฆ It literally saved my life! I struggled for so many years not being active and not even leaving my house. Now, I feel like Iโ€™m living again! Thank you Dr. Blaty, you are the best!โ€
โ€“ Adrienne H.

Thank you, for trusting Dr. Blaty and the team at Inland Northwest Spine.

At Inland Northwest Spine, visiting a spine surgeon does not necessarily mean you're headed straight for surgery. In fact, most of our patients are initially offered non-surgical treatment options, such as spine injections, referrals to physical therapy or chiropractic care, and expert education on spine health. https://inlandnwspine.com/for-patients/faqs/
Our team carefully evaluates every case, discussing all available paths before considering surgical intervention. For more information about the options, give us a call at (208)667-1376.

Inland Northwest Spine recently received this heartfelt letter from a patient who wanted to share their remarkable experience. We are honored by their words and grateful for the opportunity to be part of their healing journey.

Full Letter:

"After this surgery, when I awakened in recovery, I had no pain at all! As the day wore on, I kept expecting the pain to come. It never did. I was able to stand up and walk right away with no pain or dizziness. With all 8 of my previous back surgeries, this was not the case. I would be dizzy, sick to my stomach and in unbearable pain. Not this time! The pain never came. None!

There were many exceptional nurses and care-givers that came and went throughout the day of surgery and that night and the next day. I have never been treated so well by anyone in my life!

Each and every one of the staff that entered my room actually really cared about me and my comfort. They All took excellent care of me. Even the Pharmacist came to see me to go over my medications to make double sure everything was perfect!

Dr. Doug Blaty and his surgical team are the best in the entire world. To accomplish the repair they did in my neck and for me to come away from it with zero pain AND for many other things in my body to have also recovered, is truly a miracle.

Both of my hands are completely working again! I have lots of feeling in them and I am able to type again and sign my name normally again and have gained a lot of strength back in both of them!"

-Switch sides & take breaks โ€“ Avoid staying in one posture too long.
-Engage your core โ€“ Stand tall and keep your spine supported.
-Stretch & stay warm โ€“ Loosen up before and after decorating.

If back pain dims your holiday cheer, weโ€™re here to help with expert spine care and minimally invasive treatment options.

Are you struggling with persistent lower back or hip pain, even after other treatments or surgeries?
It might be your SI joint causing the discomfort.

The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) plays a vital role in transferring energy between your spine and legs. When it becomes unstable or inflamed, it can cause pain that mimics disc or hip problems, making diagnosis tricky.

At Inland Northwest Spine, our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and treatments, including minimally invasive SI joint fusion with the iFuse Implant Systemยฎ to help patients regain stability, reduce pain, and get back to doing what they love.

Donโ€™t ignore your symptoms, relief is possible.
