Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery vs. Traditional Open Surgery

Discover a Faster, Safer Way to Relieve Back and Neck Pain

Struggling with chronic back pain, sciatica, or a herniated disc? You may be a candidate for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)—a modern alternative to traditional open spine surgery that offers smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and less pain.

At Minimially Invasive Spine & Orthopedics, we specialize in advanced, patient-centered surgical techniques using state-of-the-art robotic navigation and minimally invasive approaches.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is revolutionizing spine care. Instead of cutting through muscle and tissue like traditional surgery, MISS uses tiny incisions and specialized tools to access the spine with less trauma.

✅ Smaller Incisions
✅ Less Pain After Surgery
✅ Quicker Return to Work & Activities
✅ Lower Risk of Infection
✅ Minimal Scarring
✅ Often Performed Outpatient
