Lower back pain is the leading cause of non-fatal health loss worldwide and is drastically impacting people’s quality of life. Disorders of the spine such as degenerative disc disease, narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis) or spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), may result in severe back and leg pain.

In the US alone nearly 2 million people need to undergo surgery each year. Spinal fusion is one of the most common type of surgery performed and consists of connecting two or more vertebrae to improve stability, correct a deformity or reduce pain. This procedure typically involves placing pedicle screws and short rods in the treated segment for spinal stability. It is a complex and time-consuming procedure associated with high risks and long recovery time.

With the current high entry barrier only a fraction of the patients get access to the care they need. InnoSpina is on a mission to change that.
