Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery Is Becoming More And More Popular Across The U.S.
That’s because this innovative, cutting-edge technique can offer faster recovery times, less scarring, and less pain and discomfort.
Minimally Invasive Spine Services
Our spine care center specializes in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), using advanced techniques that reduce tissue disruption, minimize postoperative discomfort, and promote a faster recovery. These procedures help patients return to everyday life sooner while delivering effective treatment for a variety of spinal conditions.
Endoscopic / Micro Discectomy
Endoscopic and micro discectomy are highly precise procedures used to treat herniated discs that place pressure on spinal nerves. Through a very small incision, specialized surgical instruments and a high-definition camera provide excellent visualization while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
The damaged disc material is carefully removed to relieve nerve compression, reduce back or leg pain, and restore mobility. Because healthy muscles and tissues are preserved, patients typically experience less postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive pain management procedure that targets spinal nerves responsible for chronic neck or back pain. Controlled heat energy is applied to carefully interrupt pain signals transmitted by the affected nerves.
Often recommended for facet joint pain, RFA provides long-lasting pain relief without the need for major surgery. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day with little downtime.
