Prairie Spine & Pain Institute

What Prairie Spine & Pain Institute does

Prairie Spine & Pain Institute, S.C. is an independent, privately held medical practice headquartered in Peoria, Illinois, with a second office in Marion, Illinois. Founded in 2006, the practice provides orthopedic spine diagnosis, interventional pain management, and spine surgery to patients suffering from acute and chronic back, neck, and spinal disorders. Its clinical offering spans three integrated service lines: comprehensive evaluations, non-surgical treatments (physical therapy, heat/cold therapy, conditioning), and surgical treatments ranging from minimally invasive procedures to complex fusions, disc replacements, decompression, vertebroplasty, and kyphoplasty. The practice also offers regenerative treatments such as stem cell therapy and uses third-party devices including the Coflex interlaminar stabilization device and the SImmetry SI joint fusion system from Zyga Technologies.

Operationally, Prairie Spine operates dedicated, on-site surgical suites through a core partnership with Prairie SurgiCare, equipped with X-Ray, fluoroscopy, motion analysis, and ultrasound. The practice is led by founder and spine surgeon Dr. Richard A. Kube II, who is an elected Oral Examiner for the American Board of Spine Surgery and is recognized for world-first, U.S.-first, and Central Illinois-first surgical advancements. Revenue is generated through professional services — medical consultations, interventional pain management, physical therapy, and surgical procedures — billed primarily through health insurance, with contracted pricing offered through a separate Prairie SurgiCare microsite.

The practice markets itself as a "truly independent" alternative to corporate-owned providers, emphasizing on-site surgical capabilities, comprehensive evaluation before surgery (with the majority of patients routed to conservative care), and an active digital footprint across Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and a regularly updated educational blog. It currently operates at 11–50 employees and is not accepting new patients, continuing to serve its existing roster through its onpatient.com patient portal.
