For patients diagnosed with spinal arthritis affecting the facet joints of the neck or back, the laser procedure for spinal arthritis at 360 Ortho & Spine offers lasting relief without metal implants.

Can Mississippi patients schedule a video consultation before traveling to Tampa?
Yes! We offer video consultations for Mississippi patients who want to connect with our team before committing to the trip to Tampa, Florida. Before your virtual visit, you will need to submit your completed new patient packet and copies of your MRI and X-ray images and reports, along with any operative reports, for Dr. Prada to review. Copies cannot be returned and may be destroyed following review. An in-person physical exam is required before your procedure, which takes place when you visit Tampa for surgery.
Where should Mississippi patients stay when visiting Tampa for treatment?
There are several affordable, accessible hotel options within a 15-mile radius of our facility, including properties near Tampa International Airport. When booking, ask whether a freezer is available in the room, as you will need one for your ice packs during your recovery.
Is it okay to book travel from Mississippi before receiving a confirmed date?
We strongly recommend waiting until Dr. Prada has medically cleared you and our office has provided a confirmed date for your procedure or consultation before booking any travel. Reserving flights or hotel stays in advance of that clearance can lead to cancellation fees and avoidable complications. Once you have a confirmed date, our team will help you prepare for your trip.
