Minimally Invasive. Maximally Effective.
Modern spine surgery is vastly different from anything you may have heard or read about in the past. Techniques are now designed around small incisions, rapid recovery, and reproducible results. Our procedures are the ultimate expression of our commitment to restoring your quality of life - simply and elegantly.
Neck Procedures
The cervical spine— or neck— is responsible for some pretty important functions. It allows movement of the head and acts as a passageway for important nerves that control arm and leg function. The most common conditions in this region of the spine include disc herniation, disc degeneration, and spinal stenosis. Any of these conditions can cause neck and shoulder pain, neck stiffness, numbness or tingling in the arms or fingers, and weakness. We can treat most of the conditions without surgery. In the few conditions that do require surgery, amazing advancements have been made, such as artificial disc replacement and microsurgery.
Middle Back Procedures
The thoracic spine— or middle back— is responsible for movement of the torso. It is also a passageway for some important nerves that affect balance and leg function. The most common conditions in this region of the spine include disc degeneration and stenosis. Spinal tumors may also affect this region. Any of these conditions can cause mid back pain, flank pain, bowel or bladder conditions, or difficulty with balance and walking. Fortunately, many of these problems are treated successfully with minimally invasive techniques.
Lower Back Procedures
The lumbar spine— or low back— is one of the most important regions of the spine. All of the body’s motion and forces are transmitted through this part of the spine. It is the passageway for all the nerves that control leg function and bowel and bladder function. The lumbar spine also allows flexibility and the ability to twist and bend. The most common conditions include disc herniation, disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, tumors, and spinal fractures. Any of these conditions can cause stiffness, pain, numbness or tingling in the legs, difficulty walking or sitting, and even bowel or bladder issues. Nonsurgical and surgical advancements in this region have been staggering. Amazingly, we now treat most of the conditions in the lumbar spine in the outpatient setting using techniques such as artificial disc replacement and microdecompression.
Global Alignment
The spine can only function properly when all of its regions— cervical, thoracic, lumbar— are in perfect harmony and alignment. The spinal bones or discs can develop structural conditions that disrupt this harmony and this causes deformity of the spine. Deformity most commonly looks like abnormal curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis, or like “hunching” of the spine, known as kyphosis. Minimally invasive deformity correction, computer-assisted surgery, and image-guided surgery have revolutionized our ability to successfully treat these conditions.

About The Procedure
Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement
A minimally invasive, outpatient (same-day surgery) method of treating a failed disc in the neck with a biomechanical disc, thereby avoiding fusion and preserving motion.
Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement
A minimally invasive, outpatient (same-day surgery) method of treating a failed disc in the low back with a biomechanical disc, thereby avoiding fusion and preserving motion.
Cervical Microdecompression
A minimally invasive method of removing bone spurs from around the nerves in the neck to treat spinal stenosis.
Lumbar Microdecompression
A minimally invasive method of removing bone spurs from around the nerves in the low back to treat spinal stenosis.
Thoracic Microdecompression
A minimally invasive method of removing bone spurs from around the nerves in the mid-back to treat spinal stenosis.
Cervical Microdiscectomy
A minimally invasive method of removing a disc fragment from around one or more nerves in the neck.
Lumbar Microdiscectomy
A minimally invasive method of removing a disc fragment from around one or more nerves in the low back.
Spinal Fusion
A state-of-the-art method of correcting abnormal spinal curvatures using three-dimensional approaches.
XLIF
A modern method of spinal stabilization of the back for cases in which artificial disc replacement is not possible.
We are privileged to be able to help our patients through their pain and disability. Whether it is through nonsurgical management, motion-sparing technology, minimally invasive techniques, or state-of-the-art outpatient procedures, our happy patients are our greatest achievement. Every patient deserves the chance to have a normal quality of life. We are honored to help them get there.

Dr. Rasouli on Meet the Doctors Podcast
Dr. Rasouli says 90% of all patients with back pain don’t need surgery. By trying conservative treatments first, most patients will recover. For the 10% that need surgery, Dr. Rasouli pioneered doing cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacements in an outpatient setting. That means most of his cervical and lumbar disc replacements allow patients to go home the same day as surgery. These are rapid recovery spine surgeries.

Melding Medicine and Technology
“The same things that are required for you to be good with computers make you good at surgery, which is a very logical, focus-driven algorithmic process where one task can’t be completed unless another task before it is completed. At the same time, there’s this art in surgery that’s not scientific or focus driven, but is just art – an expression of something that you can’t quite describe."
