WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Minimally invasive spine surgery isn't defined by incision size \u2014 it's defined by preserving healthy tissue. Its purpose is to resolve the underlying spine problem \u2014 a herniated disc, nerve compression, instability \u2014 while altering the surrounding structures as little as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

SYMPTOMS<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Spine Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Spine symptoms vary depending on the affected area and the nerve involved \u2014 they can range from back or neck pain to pain radiating down the leg or arm, tingling, numbness, or weakness.

Lower back pain that won't go away<\/h4>

Pain in the lower back that persists for weeks and doesn't improve with rest or pain medication. When chronic low back pain is constant, it can have a structural cause \u2014 disc wear or spinal instability \u2014 worth investigating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Sciatica<\/h4>

Pain that starts in the lower back and travels down the leg, sometimes with tingling or weakness. This is the classic sign of a compressed nerve root \u2014 what many call a \"pinched nerve\" \u2014 as seen in a lumbar disc herniation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
