About

Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute is a leading center dedicated to transforming the treatment of spinal conditions through cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques, regenerative medicine, and pioneering research. Our mission is not only to restore function and improve quality of life but to reshape the future of spine care through continuous innovation.

Transforming Spinal Health

Founded by Dr. Michael Gerling, a pioneer in minimally invasive spine care, and supported by Dr. Zorica Buser, an expert in regenerative spine treatments, our institute is driven by a commitment to improving lives through innovative, non-operative solutions. Our expert team leverages advanced technologies—such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy, and exosomes—to enhance healing and restore function. While our focus is on avoiding surgery whenever possible, we offer minimally invasive surgical options when conditions are severe or non-responsive to conservative treatments, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. We combine world-class care with cutting-edge research that shapes the future of spinal health.

Your Path to Spinal Wellness

We treat a wide range of spinal conditions, from degenerative diseases and complex spine injuries to chronic pain and deformities, offering personalized, effective solutions tailored to each individual. Every patient is unique, and we prioritize individualized care that focuses on the most effective and least invasive treatment options available.

At Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute, we pride ourselves on providing state-of-the-art treatments in a supportive, patient-centered environment. Whether you are seeking relief from back pain, recovering from a spinal injury, or exploring advanced regenerative treatments, we are here to guide you through every step of your journey toward recovery.

Our Approach

At Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute, we seamlessly integrate clinical expertise with groundbreaking research to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to spine care. We specialize in both surgical and non-surgical options, with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive procedures that minimize recovery times, reduce complications, and improve outcomes.

In addition to our patient care, we are proud to be at the forefront of spine care research. With an emphasis on regenerative medicine and innovative surgical techniques, we are committed to advancing the field of spine care through scientific inquiry and technological development. Our research is driven by the desire to discover new ways to treat spinal conditions, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately shape the future of spine health.

We understand the emotional and physical challenges of dealing with spine issues. Our compassionate care model addresses the whole patient, not just the condition. We work closely with every individual to optimize their overall wellness, with or without western medical technology. We strive to ensure they fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options, empowering them to make informed decisions about their care. From chronic pain relief to post-surgery rehabilitation, we are with you every step of the way.
