This increased motion between backbone segments can lead to a range of lower back issues, causing significant pain and discomfort. 

However, with our interventional pain management specialist in Chicago, you don’t need to worry about chronic back pain. Our permanent solutions provide stabilization in the spine and alleviate the symptoms associated with this condition, improving the patient's quality of life.

At CINP our Neuropathy Specialist in Chicago, Dr. Rock performs the Aurora Zip Procedure, providing patients with a less invasive alternative for spine stabilization. As a minimally invasive technique, it utilizes a specialized implant system to stabilize the spine while preserving its mobility. 

This procedure is particularly beneficial for conditions like spinal instability or spinal stenosis, where traditional open surgery might pose higher risks.
