"My husband had surgery - He woke up the next day and had no pain. It was like nothing happened."

The staff at Biscup Spine Institute often hear such praise. In their letters, email, phone calls and visits patients pour out gratitude to doctors Robert Biscup and Melvin Whitfield, the founding partners of Biscup Spine Institute. Both surgeons affirm that giving relief to those suffering with debilitating chronic pain and improving the quality of life is the most rewarding aspect of their practice.

Dr. Robert Biscup is a board-certified orthopaedic specialist who won acclaim in his career, both in Cleveland and South East Florida, by developing surgical implants and innovative procedures, such as minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of Spinal Stenosis.

Joining Dr. Biscup is Melvin Whitfield, M.D., a board-certified neurosurgeon who has special expertise in disorders of the cervical spine. Dr. Whitfield has worked at world famous institutions and, like Dr. Biscup, believes that you must treat the whole patient, not just the diagnosis.

In addition to spinal stenosis these specialists treat many other disorders including spinal tumors, synovial cysts, traumatic fractures, spinal deformities, disc herniations, osteoporosis compression fractures, and spine surgery that has failed, as well as many other conditions.

The collaborative approach to total care at the Biscup Spine Institute is comprised of four integrative components: comprehensive diagnosis, multidisciplinary treatment, acute rehabilitation, and health maintenance. "I often see patients who have previously been diagnosed incorrectly and/or have under-gone previous surgery that does not correct their problem," commented Dr. Biscup. "Chronic and severe pain can be extremely debilitating and freedom from chronic pain begins with an accurate diagnosis, effective treatment and ongoing care. In many of these cases, a team approach is essential since these conditions are often complex and require input from several specialists."

Dr. Biscup is well known for his minimally invasive micro-decompression laminoplasty procedure in the treatment of Spinal Stenosis and performs the procedure several times a week with great success. "Working in a space the size of a fingernail, this procedure allows us to open up the constricted area and relieve pressure which results in significant and almost immediate pain reduction and a faster return to normal activities," commented Dr. Biscup.

Mrs. Lois Elkman, a patient who recently went through the procedure herself commented after just two weeks, "I am very happy. The severe pain I had was gone immediately. Today was the first time I drove. I was afraid to drive before because of the numbness in my legs. Prior to the surgery [there was a lot of pain with], steps, walking, with lots of things. Dr. Biscup did me a lot of good. I have only good things to say."

Symptoms of spinal stenosis, herniated discs and other spinal conditions can range in severity and often cause incapacitating pain and/or severe neurological dysfunction. The treatment techniques used at the Biscup Spine Institute make it possible for people to experience less pain and return to an active and a healthier lifestyle.

Also on the medical team is Luis Mejia, M.A., P.T., CGFI, who helps patients return to a better quality of life that includes favorite activities that they thought were gone forever.

A certified physical therapist with special certification in golf performance, Luis performs evaluations and then uses golf and other recreational sports as part of the physical therapy process. "We were the first center in the country taking this unique and effective approach to getting people with severe disability back to playing recreational sports after spine surgery," notes Mr. Mejia.

The Biscup Spine Institute takes pride in treating the patient, not just the x-ray, beginning with accurate diagnosis, continuing with world-renowned treatment, followed by close personal care and a custom wellness and maintenance program. As stated by Dr. Biscup, "Spinal medicine requires an ongoing relationship with patients. We are here for the duration and commit ourselves to their cause and wellbeing."

The Biscup Spine Institute has gained a very strong regional, national, and international reputation throughout the medical community because of the experience and expertise of its medical team and staff.
