Did you know that multifidus atrophy and dysfunction is a common cause of persistent low back pain? Back injuries, including disc herniations, can inhibit function of the multifidus muscle, which is why back pain can persist even after the disc herniation resolves. This muscle is notoriously hard to rehabilitate with physical therapy, and now we can offer an outpatient procedure that stimulates and rehabilitates the multifidus muscle, with long term data showing significant improvements in back pain. Notice on this MRI the patchy atrophy of the muscles surrounding the spine, and here is an XR showing the implantation of leads to stimulate the muscle.

How much do you trust hospitals? Back in 2018, we started doing endoscopic spine surgery at , and I posted it here on instagram. I had the opportunity to help a lot of patients and even be faculty for international events with to allow other doctors to help their own patients. So imagine my surprise when the 2025 and mailer, which likely went out to thousands of patients, said that, 7 years later, Hoag was “the first” to perform endoscopic spine surgery in Orange County… do you think it’s an honest mistake, or another case of the loudest voices in the room defining the “truth.” I’ll leave this here and we will find out. Independent doctors are getting squashed by large entities and the only ones getting hurt are patients.

A lot of talk about the alleged United Healthcare CEO shooter having a botched spine surgery - rather than be critical here, I’d like to point out some principles that I use to ensure good outcomes using a recent XR posted by one of my patients.

Anterior column support (here with an ALIF) to prevent hardware failure, maintenance or restoration of lordosis to limit adjacent segment disease and maintain sagittal balance , and accurate screw placement to prevent radiculopathies and nerve injuries requiring revision surgery.

Had an exciting opportunity to talk about closed loop spinal cord stimulation at the meeting with Lisa Johanek and Victoria Flower. I was so excited in fact, that apparently my eyes were closed throughout the entire talk.

Got a chance to share the stage at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons meeting with colleague and neuromodulation luminary to discuss one of my favorite topics: spinal cord stimulation for nonsurgical back pain.
