At Inland Northwest Spine, our minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) techniques are designed with one goal in mind: treating your spine condition while preserving as much of your body’s natural structure as possible.

Unlike traditional surgery that may involve moving or removing muscle and tissue, MIS focuses on working around muscles and ligaments, not through them. Using advanced tools and specialized training, our surgeons minimize disruption to the surrounding tissue while still effectively addressing the problem.

What does that mean for you?
✔ Less post-operative pain
✔ Reduced bleeding
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Better long-term outcomes

It’s not just about a smaller incision, it’s about a smarter approach to healing.

This spring, protect your spine and your swing.

Golf season is finally here, but before you step onto the course, ask yourself if your spine is ready for the swing. A golf swing puts repeated rotation and compression on your spine, and without proper preparation, it can quickly lead to pain or injury. Warming up before you play, focusing on good swing mechanics instead of raw power, and maintaining strong core muscles can all help protect your back and keep you playing longer. Most importantly, pain isn’t something to “play through” , it’s your body telling you something needs attention.

At Inland Northwest Spine, we specialize in diagnosing and treating spine conditions so you can stay active and enjoy the sports you love. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, chronic back pain, or a recent injury, our team is here to help you move better and feel better this season.

Dr. Blaty at Inland Northwest Spine is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and is often ask how that differs from an MD.

Here’s the key:
MDs and DOs are both fully licensed physicians who complete medical school, residency, and often fellowship training, and can provide both surgical and non-surgical care.

What’s unique about a DO like Dr. Blaty?
DOs receive additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM), focused on the musculoskeletal system.

This includes hands-on techniques and principles similar to:
• Physical therapy
• Chiropractic-style mechanics
• Therapeutic massage
• Guided stretching

More importantly, it builds a deep understanding of how the body’s structure, movement, and function work together, especially important in spine care.

That foundation helps Dr. Blaty take a comprehensive approach, creating personalized treatment plans focused on the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

At Inland Northwest Spine & Neurosurgery, the most important outcome is patient satisfaction and that doesn’t just mean surgery. It means collaboratively finding the best path for each patient. We spend the time needed to discuss all available options, and often that starts with non-surgical treatments like Physical Therapy.

Physical Therapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support your spine. We don’t rush to surgery, we explore every other option first, making sure the approach we choose is truly what’s best for you. When surgery is necessary, it’s only after careful consideration, ensuring the best possible outcome and recovery.

Call Inland Northwest Spine to see if Physical Therapy is the right step for you. (208)667-1376.

At Inland Northwest Spine, we know that a healthy spine starts from within. Did you know your diet can play a big role in spinal health? Just like you fuel your body for energy, the right foods can help keep your spine strong, flexible, and resilient. Here are some spine-loving foods to add to your plate:

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 – Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with calcium and antioxidants that help maintain strong bones and reduce inflammation.

𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 – Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3s, promoting joint health and protecting your spinal discs.

𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 – Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries fight oxidative stress, which is linked to age-related spine degeneration.

𝗡𝘂𝘁𝘀 & 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 – Almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds provide vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to support overall wellness!

𝗬𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘁 – Calcium-rich yogurt helps maintain bone density, keeping your vertebrae strong. Greek yogurt also adds a protein boost!

𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 – This golden spice contains curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory that can help reduce back pain. Add it to soups, stews, or smoothies for extra flavor and benefits.
