Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Information may not be reliable

Before the tremendous advancements made in minimally invasive spine surgery, your only option to relieve back pain was either taking dangerous opioids or facing open surgery that often left you with a long recovery and lingering side effects. Now you can find relief at a pain clinic near you at NYC pain management. Our pain specialists more often focus on non-invasive or less-invasive spine treatments to provide a number of safe, effective options.

The minimally invasive back surgery performed by our spine surgeons is done on an outpatient basis, which allows you to recuperate at home. Don’t wait to seek help because you’re afraid of needing back surgery, call today for an evaluation and to learn your options.

At pain management clinic NYC, the first line of treatment is always the least invasive when combating acute or chronic pain. Following a thorough examination, your pain management doctor may order additional tests with the most advanced diagnostics in New York. Once the cause of your pain is determined, you may begin with conservative treatments, such as behavior modifications and over-the-counter medicine to alleviate your pain.

But if your pain lingers, the top pain clinic in Manhattan offers a wide range of treatments for back pain that include:

- Radiofrequency ablation

- Spine facet injections

- Lumbar epidural steroid injections

You may find pain relief from chronic tension headaches or muscle and joint pain with trigger point injections or nerve blocks. But when those treatments don’t fully resolve your discomfort, you can rely on the experience and skills of pain doctors who also provide safe and effective minimally invasive spine surgery procedures.

Minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) is a type of back surgery performed through small incisions. This less invasive type of spinal procedure is done with a specialized hollow tube known as a tubular retractor. The spine surgeon uses this tool to visualize and treat the targeted spine area. This results in less trauma being caused to the nearby muscles and surrounding tissue.

When the tube-shaped tool is inserted into the small incision, it gently pushes aside the muscle and soft tissue, creating a tunnel to the problem area of the spine. This enables the spine surgeon to insert small tools through the retractor and work on your spine. During the entire minimally invasive spine surgery, a special operating microscope is used (fluoroscopy) that provides the doctor with real-time X-ray images of your spine.

This less invasive back surgery technique gives your surgeon great precision to repair and treat the targeted area. Another advantage it has over standard surgery is less pain and faster recovery times after surgery. MISS can be used for various types of spine surgery.
