Happy Veterans Day and THANK YOU to all those who have served and continue to do so. Our interventional pain practice at The Orthopaedic Institute is proud to care for our veterans who suffer from chronic pain.

Celebrating national PA week by recognizing the best PA any doctor could ask for. Kelsey Kimball takes excellent care of our patients and has become a national leader by teaching others in her field. I could not be more proud to have her in our interventional pain practice at The Orthopaedic Institute.

We are very proud to continue academic pursuits as we learn about the many applications of posterior sacroiliac joint stabilization. This procedure has changed our practice and has helped many of our patients!

Happy Nurse’s Week at TOI! From our clinical research coordinator Gretchen, to our procedural team of Shiloh and AJ, to the operating room leader Lacey, thank you for the impact you all make on our current and future patients every day.

A big thank you to the procedural staff at The Orthopaedic Institute who are dedicated to helping patients every day!

When patients come to our practice at The Orthopaedic Institute they are likely to find this friendly face! Thank you Veronica Stacey for your kindness and dedication to helping patients suffering from chronic pain.

We are honored to serve our patients in a way never been done before! Our practice at The Orthopaedic Institute is the first in Florida to offer the capability to program a spinal stimulator remotely. Thanks to our clinic team and our partners at Abbott neuromodulation for their dedication to patient centric care.

Our MVP, Tisha Redondo, assists patients in coordinating and scheduling procedures to improve their chronic pain. Her positive attitude and dedication to our patients allows us to be successful every day!

I am so proud and thankful to have a team that is dedicated to facilitating high level care for patients suffering from painful conditions. Our newest members are Tisha Redondo and Veronica Stacey - a big shout out and thank you for all that you do!

Clinical research at TOI advances our field but also offers patients unique access to cutting edge treatments. The DISTINCT trial offers BurstDR spinal stimulation for chronic non-surgical back pain. We are excited to partner with in this landmark study.

Vertebral augmentation at The Orthopaedic Institute!

This is a procedure bringing immediate pain relief, functional improvement, and actually a reduced morbidity for our patients.

We have a world class team of techs, nurses, and physicians including renowned kyphoplasty expert Dr. Rick Kinard.

Our practice is focused on not only treating patients but also participating in front line research to improve technologies and understand how to use them to reduce pain. We are proud to collaborate with Dr. Steve Coombs and Rachel Judy at the University of Florida to improve the lives of future patients through clinical research.

At TOI, The Orthopaedic Institute, we are proud to offer multiple interventional options for chronic pain, including the latest innovations in radiofrequency ablation - a simple office based procedure that can offer relief of pain by destroying sensory nerves. We have an amazing team helping to deliver advanced technology right here in our community Gainesville, Florida!

Spinal stenosis affects up to 70% of the population in their lifetime. Typical symptoms involve pain, fatigue, and numbness with prolonged standing and walking. Indirect decompression is a safe and proven treatment option we are proud to offer in our practice. This 30 minute outpatient surgical procedure is backed by a 90% patient satisfaction rate of 5 years. For some patients this is a great alternative to a larger surgical procedure.

DRG stimulation remains one of the best therapies I can offer my patients. In our practice CRPS I and CRPS II of the lower extremities has a gold standard, evidence based option that changes lives.

The Orthopaedic Institute, we are on the front lines of cutting edge innovation to help patients suffering from chronic pain. Sacroiliac joint pain accounts for up to 30% of chronic low back pain. With a minimally invasive bone graft stabilization, we are able to offer durable treatment in a 20 minute outpatient procedure.

Our practice at The Orthopaedic Insititute prides itself on offering the latest cutting edge options for providing lasting relief for chronic pain through minimally invasive procedures. We are pleased to be the first in the region to offer the Nalu micro stimulator, which relieves chronic pain by blocking pain signals before reaching the brain. The device is implanted through a tiny incision just under the skin and powered via a wireless external battery. Contact our office for info 352-336-6000 to learn more!
