The patient acquisition
system that fills your spine surgery calendar.

We put your spine practice in front of patients whose back and leg pain has already taken over their life, people who have tried physical therapy, injections and waiting, and are now searching for a herniated disc, sciatica, stenosis or minimally invasive answer. We turn them into booked surgical consults. Not tire kickers. Not people googling stretches. Patients who are finally ready to fix it and choose their surgeon.

A microdiscectomy or decompression commonly collects several thousand dollars, while a fusion or disc replacement case often runs much higher, and cash pay endoscopic consults add their own value. We'll calibrate this to your fee schedule and payer mix on the call.

How it works

A spine growth system, not a service.

Most agencies run a few "back pain ads", send you a spreadsheet of clicks, and leave you wondering why nobody booked a surgical consult. We built a predictive system that does one thing: deliver qualified spine surgical candidates on repeat.

01

Surgical intent capture

We position your practice in front of people actively searching herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, minimally invasive spine surgery and alternatives to fusion in your metro. Real surgical intent, not vague "back health" curiosity.

02

Ready to act filter

Most people live with back and leg pain for years. Our funnel speaks to the patient who is done waiting, the one whose pain is stealing their sleep, their work and their ability to pick up their kids, so the consults you get are people ready to commit, not someone comparing stretching videos.

03

Second opinion positioning

We capture the high value patient who was told they need a large fusion and is now hunting for a second opinion or a less invasive route. Your minimally invasive approach becomes the reason they pick you while they are still deciding who to trust with their spine.

04

Consults on your calendar

The only KPI that matters: qualified patients sitting in your consult chair and converting to surgery dates. Clicks and impressions are noise. We report on booked consults and cases on the schedule.

Why this is different

We made it stupid easy to start.

No lock ins. No smoke. No fine print. If it does not work, you leave.

βœ•

No long term contracts

Month to month. You stay because consult chairs and OR days are filling, not because a contract says you have to.

βœ•

No setup fees

We don't charge you to start. Your investment goes where it belongs, into getting you booked surgical patients.

βœ•

No referral dependence

We won't leave your OR block hostage to pain management and primary care referrals that dry up the moment a group keeps cases in house or a hospital signs your referrers. You get a pipeline you own.

βœ“

One focus only

Booked, qualified surgical consults that convert to cases. Clicks, impressions and vanity leads are noise. We report on what fills your OR.

βœ“

Built for spine compliance

Meta and Google are strict on surgical claims, before and after imagery and outcome language. We know what gets flagged and how to write creative that runs without your account getting suspended mid campaign.

βœ“

Up and running in days

From signed to first spine campaign in under 14 days. No six week "discovery phase". We've done this in your exact vertical.

What to expect

Spine and surgical practices like yours are already seeing it work.

"

"We were completely dependent on pain management referrals and watched the hospital steer fusion cases to its employed group. Now we have our own pipeline of disc and stenosis patients, many of them second opinion seekers who want our minimally invasive approach, and I can finally plan my OR block a month out."

Good questions

Everything you're wondering, answered.

What type of spine surgery patients will this actually bring?
People whose back or leg pain is already running their life and who are actively researching real procedures: herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, failed back surgery, artificial disc replacement and minimally invasive or endoscopic options. We filter for patients who have usually already tried physical therapy, injections and time, and are finally ready to sit with a surgeon, not people idly reading about back stretches.
Can you reach patients looking for a second opinion or alternatives to fusion?
Yes, and that is one of the highest value audiences in spine. A huge number of patients are told they need a large fusion and go searching for a second opinion or a less invasive option like a microdiscectomy, decompression or disc replacement. We put your practice in front of those searches in your metro, so the patient weighing a major operation finds you while they are still deciding who to trust with their spine.
We already get referrals from pain management and primary care. Why would we need ads?
Referrals are valuable but you do not control them. When a pain management group starts keeping cases in house, a referring physician retires, or a hospital network steers patients to its employed spine surgeons, that pipeline can shrink overnight. Our system gives you a surgical patient source you own outright, so your OR block and consult chairs are not hostage to relationships outside your walls.
How do we compete with the hospital owned spine and neurosurgery groups?
We do not try to outspend a hospital system. We position your surgeon, your outcomes and your minimally invasive approach so patients who want a real relationship with the person operating on their spine, and a faster recovery, choose you over a number in a giant network. Patients deciding who will fix their back care far more about trust, access and how invasive the surgery is than about a billboard with a hospital logo.
How much does spine patient acquisition cost?
We recommend a minimum of $3,000/month in paid ad spend for spine, plus our management fee. Spine consults carry a higher acquisition cost than a routine visit because the decision is bigger and the window is longer, so the system needs enough budget to gather data and optimize toward booked, qualified surgical candidates. A single disc or decompression case usually pays back a full month of acquisition many times over.
Are we locked into a long term contract?
No. Month to month. No setup fees. You stay because consult chairs and OR days are filling with qualified spine patients, not because a contract says you have to.
