Companion Spine
Companion Spine is a medical device company building a full continuum of interventional and surgical therapies for back pain caused by degenerative disc disease and lumbar spinal stenosis. Founded in 2020 by the Viscogliosi Brothers, it focuses on posterior dynamic stabilization and motion-preserving implants - such as DIAM, coflex, CoFix, LISA and APERIUS - that treat spine conditions without spinal fusion. With headquarters in New York and Mérignac (Bordeaux), France, the company aims to offer surgeons a single, indication-specific portfolio spanning diagnosis, pain management and outpatient surgery.
MyBackHub (NSite Medical)
MyBackHub, built by NSite Medical (legally Nsite, Inc.), is an AI-powered digital health platform for non-operative back and spine care. Spun out of the founders' earlier scoliosis work at the National Scoliosis Clinic, it uses a smartphone-based, radiation-free AI scan (the PostureBackNeck Assessment) to analyze posture and spinal alignment at home, then builds a personalized recovery plan combining adaptive exercises, live Pilates classes, licensed physical therapists, Stanford's Empowered Relief pain program, and a 24/7 AI companion. The company holds FDA 510(k) clearance for its AI-based scoliosis scanning app and delivers care at little to no cost through select Medicare and insurance plans.
