VSI® Launches Recovery Revolution™: Optimizing Spine Surgery Outcomes

The Recovery Revolution™ combines advanced surgery, holistic therapies, and proven protocols, validated in a 50,000-patient study, to deliver more effective and efficient recovery.

RESTON, Va., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VSI® is proud to introduce The Recovery Revolution™, a patient-first, data-driven model that reimagines what recovery should look like before, during, and after spine surgery. The Recovery Revolution sets a new gold standard for spine care, ensuring patients are well-prepared for surgery and fully supported in their return to life.

The Recovery Revolution is a pioneering movement that places recovery at the center of surgical decisions. The foundation combines proven research, cutting-edge technology, expert surgical techniques, integrated tools and therapies, and end-to-end personalized care.

"At VSI, recovery is proactively planned before the procedure even begins and supported long after," says Dr. Christopher Good, President & CEO of VSI. "Globally, recovery has been treated as an afterthought, leaving patients anxious and unprepared. At VSI, we take the opposite approach. We design customized recovery plans that start with pre-surgical education and preparation, and we extend that care long after surgery with integrative therapies that accelerate healing and reduce pain. This is what The Recovery Revolution™ is all about: empowering patients from day one with the tools, support, and confidence they deserve, to achieve the outcomes they desire."

VSI's exclusive therapies optimize recovery well beyond what standard hospital protocols provide, including Aquatic Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Shockwave and Laser Therapy, Massage Therapy, Functional Exercise, Physical Therapy, Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction, Acupuncture, and more.

"At VSI, we have studied thousands of spine surgery cases nationwide, and the pattern is clear: patients who have structured, supported recovery plans heal faster, have fewer complications, and report less pain," Dr. Colin Haines, Spine Surgeon & Director of Research at VSI, explains. "Patients thrive when they're given clear, practical tools for managing recovery and when they discover therapies that make them feel less like 'surgical cases' and more like whole people again."

Recovery Research
Spine surgeons at VSI led one of the largest nationwide studies of its kind, revealing that a more comprehensive, patient-centered approach to spine surgery recovery can lead to faster healing, reduced pain, and fewer complications. The research, which analyzed outcomes from more than 50,000 thoracolumbar spinal fusion cases by 1,352 surgeons at 138 centers across the US, validates the effectiveness of the VSI Enhanced Surgical Recovery (ESR) program.
