Atlas Spine

Atlas is proud to work with Dr. Alok Sharan on the advanced Awake TLIF procedure. Dr. Sharan focuses on minimally invasive spine surgery. He has been a strong advocate for awake spine surgery and is an exclusive provider of the Awake Spinal Fusion surgery. While traditional spinal fusion surgery is considered to be an extensive procedure, requiring general anesthesia and a hospital stay, Awake Spinal Fusion is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require general anesthesia. A combination of local (spinal) anesthesia along with a novel regional anesthesia protocol which results in significantly less pain and less narcotics. Most patients are able to walk a few hours after surgery.

Tomorrow is World Spine Day.  A day to reflect the need to reset and refocus on spinal pain and disability as part of the global burden of disease. While we pride ourselves on developing spine implants to alleviate pain and stress caused by various conditions of the spine, preventative maintenance is always your best bet. Invest in your spine’s health by staying mobile, avoiding physical inactivity, not overloading your spine, and adopting healthy habits such as weight loss and smoking cessation.
