Dr. Lorio Recieves 2008 Innovation Award
Dr. Lorio is the first physician in the United States to implant a device called the Stabilimax NZ Dynamic Spine Stabilization System across two spinal segments as part of a national research study. Lorio’s first patient was a 68-year-old retired nurse — Barbara Lorio, his mother. She had suffered excruciating pain that would start in her lower back and run through her legs. Lorio could have treated his mother with a traditional "spinal fusion" — a common surgical remedy for those with chronic back and leg pain — but Lorio said that even a good outcome after a spinal fusion can decrease a patient's mobility. He should know. He's had spinal fusion surgery himself.
