Proven Alternative to Spinal Fusion!
Despite its high failure rate, too many spinal problems are treated by spinal fusions. Most of those conditions can easily be treated by The Bonati Spine Procedures, which do not introduce any hardware, do not require general anesthesia or hospital stay and produce great lasting results.
The surgeons at The Bonati Spine Institute have performed more than 75,000 procedures in over 30 years, utilizing Dr. Bonati’s patented methods and instrumentation. These revolutionary, highly effective outpatient surgeries can provide immediate relief of pain from a variety of spine conditions including bulging/herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, pinched nerves and previously failed fusions.
