Abubakar Atiq Durrani, a renowned orthopedist, has just announced that he will open a new spinal institute in Cincinnati, the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute (MISI). The founder of CAST (the Center for Advanced Spinal Technologies) and a man with a reputation as one of the leading spinal experts in the country, Abubakar Atiq Durrani’s new institute will implement many of his pioneering techniques. Abubakar Atiq Durrani’s research has led to having four patents in his name in the spinal technology field, and has resulted in advances in surgical techniques that have made many formerly complex surgeries into outpatient procedures. Abubakar Atiq Durrani has been awarded such accolades as being named one of America’s Top Orthopedists and being given the Award of Honor in Orthopedic Surgery from the National Institute of Medicine.

The Minimally Invasive Spine Institute, Abubakar Atiq Durrani’s newest undertaking, is a robust, progressive and innovative spine-specific center. At MISI the procedure always begins with the least-invasive treatment methods possible, looking to relieve pain and eliminate problems without the need for surgery. The institute’s Spine Wellness Program employs leading diagnostic and therapeutic methods for the promotion of a healthy spine. They also boast a strong and dynamic program of physical therapy with comprehensive treatment and preventative care. In addition, they are pioneering the use of the Neuro-Stim, a nonsurgical device which sends slight electrical signals to the epidural space near the spine, which can electrically block pain signals to the brain, changing them to slight tingling sensations.

Abubakar Atiq Durrani was quoted as saying, “With the crack team we have assembled here at the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute, and using the cutting edge technologies and techniques developed here, such as the Neuro-Stim, we will be able to deliver results – without surgical intervention – that surpass even the highest expectations of our patients. I am pleased, proud and honored to announce the opening of this institute to the community and the country.”

Practitioners at the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute are affiliated with the North American Spine Society, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, American Board of Spine Surgery, American College of Spine Surgery, American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Orthopedic Research Society, and the Scoliosis Research Society, says Abubakar Atiq Durrani.
