Have you been injured in a motor vehicle Accident or slip-and-fall?

When it comes to accident-related injuries, a thorough evaluation is crucial to identify the extent of damage and create an appropriate treatment plan. Premier NeuroSpine Institute offers comprehensive evaluations using state-of-the-art technologies and diagnostic tools to accurately assess the injuries. This allows the team to develop a personalized treatment approach that addresses the underlying causes of pain and promotes effective healing.

Motor vehicle accidents and slip-and-fall accidents can result in a wide range of complex injuries, including brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, and nerve damage. Our specialized neurosurgeons have the skills and knowledge to manage these complex cases effectively. We can provide comprehensive care that addresses both the immediate and long-term consequences of the injuries, aiming to minimize pain, promote healing, and maximize functional recovery.

 

Premier NeuroSpine Institute is one of the first in the Tampa Bay region to offer an innovative approach to provide relief for patients suffering from chronic low back pain (CLBP).

The treatment is the Intracept® Procedure – a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that targets a nerve located in the bones of the spine (vertebrae). During the procedure, your surgeon advances a specialized probe into the vertebrae and uses radiofrequency energy (heat) to disable the nerve, rendering it unable to transmit pain signals. Intracept takes approximately 60-90 minutes and is implant-free.
