Prairie Spine & Pain Institute

Prairie Spine & Pain Institute WORLD CLASS CARE WITH SMALL TOWN FEEL
We have created a comfortable atmosphere with the fireplace, furniture and other décor to make our patients feel at home.

Our friendly and caring staff are dedicated to answering your questions and meeting your needs. Comfort would not be complete without access to the medical services. We understand the discomfort spine patients experience and our goal is to see all new patients in less than a week. Same day appointments are sometimes possible. We also feel it is important that all new patients see the physician so

that each case is handled with maximum expertise and that questions are appropriately answered. BETTER CARE THROUGH ACCESS AND RESEARCH
Prairie Spine and Pain Institute provides patients with better access to care and a comprehensive level of spine care by combining surgical innovations with state-of -the art technology. We pride ourselves on treating our patients with the expert spine care and personal attention they deserve. We are continuously evaluating new technology and making appropriate advances available to our patients. EXPERT SPINE CARE
The spine is a remarkable and complex structure. As such, we limit our practice to the treatment of spinal disorders and constantly seek opportunities to advance patient care through participation in research and education. In fact, Dr. Richard Kube has dedicated himself to advancing innovative minimally invasive spine treatments and has participated in over 30 presentations to global spinal specialty societies. Dr. Kube’s commitment to quality has earned him a position on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Spine Surgery. But Dr. Kube does not work alone; he has built a collaborative team of ancillary spine providers and specialists to manage the diverse, comprehensive needs for effective patient care. ONE PATIENT AT A TIME
Timing of care is critical to maximizing patient outcomes. Each patient in our practice receives a customized plan for their treatment and rehabilitation with a focus on optimal outcomes and accessibility. Many of the resources we need for your care, including diagnostic scans and a first-rate rehabilitation center are located in the same building as our office. When more complex care is required, Prairie Spine and Pain Institute has privileges at the leading hospitals in the region.
