Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
At MINC, specialists employ minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art technologies to treat a range of spine injuries, painful disc conditions, and neck, arm, back and leg pain. This approach, and a collaborative environment that brings together neurological surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, rehab and physical medicine experts, physical therapists and others, offer excellent outcomes and shorter recovery periods for each patient and athlete treated at MINC.
In the past, use of minimally invasive, minimal access spine surgery was restricted by limitations in visualization, non-availability of high-quality tools such as access ports and endoscopes, and lack of surgeon expertise in the necessary techniques and technologies. As a leading facility in the advancement of this innovative approach to spine surgery, MINC has overcome these obstacles to such a degree that minimally invasive procedures are now performed here on a routine basis.
Specialists at the center have extensive training and experience diagnosing and treating all spinal disorders, including cervical spinal stenosis, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome, scoliosis, spinal cord injury, and tethered cord syndrome. Dedicated to providing the highest quality care, MINC physicians strive to return patients to their best possible activity level in the shortest possible time. They generally employ nonsurgical and minimally invasive approaches as the first line of treatment, with surgery reserved for those who have recurrent, progressively worsening or disabling symptoms.
