Awake Spine Surgery

While traditional spinal fusion surgery is considered to be an extensive procedure with a long recovery, Awake Spine Surgery is a less invasive method to perform spine surgery that uses local and regional anesthesia.

This less invasive technique allows patients to recover safer, better, faster.

Expertise That Matters

Dr. Alok Sharan is an orthopedic spine surgeon who is known both internationally and nationally as a Pioneer of Awake Spine Surgery.  He is the Founder and President of the Spine and Performance Institute.   Surgeons from across the country and across the world seek his advice on how to use regional anesthesia to lead to faster recoveries after spine surgery.  Many procedures that traditionally require 2-3 days in the hospital can be performed as an outpatient surgery using Dr. Sharan’s technique.  He founded the Spine and Performance Institute to deliver personalized, holistic care for patients who suffer from spinal disorders. Read more about Dr. Sharan.

Minimally Invasive

Minimally invasive spine surgery involves making a small incision in the skin.

Regional Anesthesia

Awake Spinal Fusion relies on highly effective regional anesthesia, avoiding general anesthesia.

Faster Healing

Because the incision is so small and the procedure less invasive, you heal faster and better.

Minimal Opioids

A smaller incision and long lasting regional anesthesia leads to less opioid use after surgery. Many patients are off narcotics a few days after surgery.

Outpatient

Since we don’t use general anesthesia, patients are on their feet faster. In fact, many patients are able to leave the hospital the same day!

Personal Care

Dr. Sharan is a pioneer and advocate of the Awake Spinal Fusion technique so that patients could get better faster.
