Here at the Iowa Spine and Brain Institute™, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the information needed to make informed decisions about their healthcare. These web pages have been designed to provide you with the general information you will need to make these important decisions.
Keep in mind that every individual is different, so your specific experience may vary from what is described here based on your needs and the decisions made by your Surgeon/Physician Specialist. These pages are intended to supplement the information and advice you receive from your surgeon/physician specialist, not to take the place of any thorough discussion you may need to have with him/her.
Studies show that a patient who is educated about their diagnosis, well prepared for treatment, and who actively participates in the process, spends less time in the hospital and enjoys a quicker rehabilitation. By keeping yourself well informed, you are contributing immeasurably to your recovery, and taking a vital step forward in regaining freedom and independence.
