OrthoIndy Spine Center of Excellence for Lilly 

Do you have back or neck pain? When non-operative treatments haven’t worked, it may be time for spinal fusion surgery. As an employee of Lilly, you can participate in a specialized-orthopedic plan to help relieve your pain and restore function. This is an optional benefit and participation is not mandatory. Below are the details of your spinal fusion surgery options. Lilly employees also have specialized access to OrthoIndy’s Total Joints Center of Excellence for Lilly.

Unless it’s an emergency, spine specialists will only recommend surgery after you’ve tried all the non-operative treatment options and still haven’t had significant or lasting improvement. Whether or not you have surgery usually depends on your pain level, how long you’ve been in pain, the amount of disability you have and which treatments you’ve already tried.

Back surgery is always your choice. Your doctor will work with you to make sure you make an informed and educated decision.

Conditions commonly associated with back surgeries include (but are not limited to):

  • Nerve or spinal cord compression
  • Back instability
  • Spine deformities (e.g., scoliosis or kyphosis)
