By the time she found the Spine Institute Northwest, Rebecca Sipes was living with excruciating leg pain. “My toes burnt nonstop, … my legs ached, and I had cramps in my calves,” she remembers. Since having an l5/s1 lumbar fusion at the Spine Institute Northwest, “it’s all gone.” In fact, Rebecca says that while before her procedure her pain level was “beyond off the charts,” just shortly after her minimally invasive spine surgery she had no pain.

Rebecca praised the care and attention she received from the doctors and staff at the Spine Institute Northwest, who did everything possible to ensure that her lumbar fusion went as smoothly as possible. “As soon as I was feeling something they were right on top of it to make sure I was 100% comfortable,” Rebecca recalls. “I feel like I’m gonna heal a lot faster just from this whole process.”

The Spine Institute Northwest specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery procedures like the lumbar fusion Rebecca received, and the doctors and staff do everything possible to help diagnose your pain and get you back on your feet — literally! “I think it’s the best thing ever,” Rebecca concludes. “Everybody is caring and right there to make sure your needs are met.”
