NeuroSpine

What NeuroSpine does

NeuroSpine Institute, LLC is a single-site neurosurgical spine and pain management practice headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, founded in 2006 by Dr. Catherine Gallo and Dr. Christopher Miller (who retired in 2023). The practice delivers comprehensive spine care under one roof, combining diagnostic consultations, surgical procedures, and interventional pain management services, supported by an on-site ambulatory surgical center, Two Rivers Surgical Center, a 7,911-square-foot AAAHC-accredited, Medicare-certified facility with two operating rooms located adjacent to the clinic. The clinical service line spans cervical and lumbar spine surgery (including ACDF, microdiscectomy, lumbar laminectomy, PLIF, TLIF, total disc arthroplasty, and carpal tunnel release) alongside a growing neuromodulation and interventional pain management portfolio that includes Boston Scientific WaveWriter Alpha, Nalu, and Nevro spinal cord stimulators, as well as the Intracept Procedure, radiofrequency ablation, and epidural steroid injections.

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model, billing insurance as a courtesy and collecting patient co-pays at the time of service. The practice is in-network with Medicare Part B, Oregon Medicaid (OHP), and a broad roster of commercial payers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon, Cigna, Health Net, Providence, and United HealthCare, which together fund the substantial majority of revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; ancillary revenue is generated through administrative fees (medical records, disability forms) and patient payment plans ranging from 90 days to 18 months.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led within a healthcare-services context: patient acquisition relies on physician referral networks, in-network payer participation, community reputation, and a website that supports direct appointment scheduling. The clinical team currently comprises Dr. Catherine Gallo, fellowship-trained spine surgeon Dr. Cyrus Ghavam (recently recruited), and two physician assistants, with the broader practice operating within an 11–50 employee range. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-patient at the Eugene facility, with no resellers, telemedicine channels, or satellite locations. The customer base consists of individual patients in the Pacific Northwest suffering from chronic neck, back, and neuropathic pain conditions who have either failed conservative treatment or require surgical intervention.

Products and services

• Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) Surgical procedure that removes damaged or herniated cervical discs and replaces them with grafts to create spinal fusion, relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in the neck. Indicated for patients with cervical disc herniation or degeneration.
• Cervical Laminectomies Operation to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in the neck by removing the bony roof of the spinal canal. Performed for patients with cervical spinal stenosis.
• Lumbar Laminectomy Low back operation to relieve pressure on nerve roots by removing laminae (bony shingles) from the lumbar spine. Indicated for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
• Microdiscectomy (MLD) Common surgery to remove herniated disc material compressing a spinal nerve root to relieve pain, numbness, and related radicular symptoms.
• Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) Spinal fusion procedure approaching from behind the lumbar spine, replacing discs with cages to fuse vertebrae and alleviate pain. Used for degenerative disc disease and instability.
• Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) Contemporary spinal fusion approach removing an intervertebral disc and joining vertebrae using screws and a cage to ease pressure on the spinal cord.
• Total Disc Arthroplasty (TDA) Artificial disc replacement surgery that replaces degenerated discs in the lumbar or cervical spine with artificial implants to restore function and preserve motion.
• Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) Surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome by cutting the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.
• Intracept Procedure Minimally invasive outpatient procedure using radiofrequency energy to ablate the basivertebral nerve for treating vertebrogenic lower back pain.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Outpatient procedure using radiofrequency waves to generate heat on nerves, destroying their ability to transmit pain signals for chronic pain relief.
• Medial Branch Blocks (MBB) Spinal injection to temporarily block pain signals from medial nerves serving facet joints for diagnosing or treating back pain.
• Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection (IESI) Injection of steroid medication into the back between the spine and spinal cord to reduce inflammation and nerve root irritation.
• Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection (TFESI) Injection of corticosteroids into the space outside the spinal cord covering targeting compressed nerve roots to reduce pain and improve mobility.
• Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) Injection of long-lasting steroid around nerve roots as they exit the spinal column to reduce inflammation and pain from herniated discs or other conditions.
• Boston Scientific WaveWriter Alpha Spinal Cord Stimulator System FDA-approved drug-free spinal cord stimulation system delivering electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals for chronic back, leg, and foot pain. Includes trial period option before permanent implant.
• Nalu Neurostimulation System
