As a top spinal expert with a reputation for flawless performance and attention to detail, Dr. Abubakar Durrani has a finger on the pulse of the latest advances in spinal treatment. Dr. Abubakar Durrani himself is renowned for his research in minimally invasive techniques for spinal treatment, resulting in a majority of treatments being available as outpatient procedures at his clinics. The founder of CAST (the Center for Advanced Spine Technologies) and MISI (the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute), Dr. Abubakar Durrani has outlined the advances in technology he is most excited about now and for the future. -Spine Wellness Program. MISI’s Spine Wellness Program consists of today’s leading, non-surgical diagnostic and therapeutic methods that lead to a healthy spine, according to Dr. Abubakar Durrani. As pain in the spine can be caused by any number of various conditions or disorders, Dr. Abubakar Durrani knows that the solution is individually focused treatment programs shaped to unique patient needs. MISI physicians operate under an innovative model of individualized care. - Neuro-Stim. A Neuro-Stim device is a nonsurgical device which sends small electric signals to the epidural space near the spine, says Dr. Abubakar Durrani. The signals travel through localized leads which generate a tingling sensation in the area a patient would normally feel pain. Using this electrical interference, the Neuro-Stim blocks the pain signals from transmitting to the brain, resulting in reduced sensation and lessening of pain. - Minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Should a patient require surgical procedure, Dr. Abubakar Durrani and his MISI physicians are experts in minimally invasive surgical techniques which are revolutionizing the way spine surgery is performed by cutting as little muscle as possible. This means a quicker return to work, athletics, and day to day activities, according to Dr. Abubakar Durrani. A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to ease lower back pain by removing only the portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve and inducing pain. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion is the complete removal of a degenerating disc and replacing it with a spacer to restore optimal height. Dr. Abubakar Durrani has developed the most minimally invasive technique to date for this surgery to ease degenerative disc disease. - Physical therapy. Work hardening and work conditioning, high level therapeutic care, Functional Capacity Evaluation, and strength and endurance evaluations are some of the advances in physical therapy that Dr. Abubakar Durrani has pioneered. Dr. Abubakar Durrani uses physical therapy as the first line of minimally invasive treatment for all patients. http://www.castworld.org/physicians-section/spine/
