At STL MISC, we believe in superior outcomes for our clients as you embark on any spinal procedure. That is why we take great effort and time in explaining each step MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SPINE PRACTICE Surgical treatment of disorders of the spinal column can, in most cases, be treated by either neurological surgeons, or orthopedic surgeons. While both specialties treat the spine, in many cases, the training, methodology and approach can be quite different. MULTILEVEL LUMBAR FUSION The surgery itself takes between 3 and 6 hours of surgical time in the operating room depending on how many vertebral levels are involved, plus about 30-60 minutes to put the patient to sleep and in position for the surgery, and about 1-2 hours in the recovery room aftersurgery.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a noninvasive diagnostic tool used to create three-dimensional images of the inside of the human body. These images are similar to images produced by a CT scan, but MRI scans are able to produce more detailed images of the body's soft tissues. These clearer images, which are produced using a magneticfield
