The Minimally Invasive SpineCARE Answer

At “Minimally Invasive SpineCARE” it is our philosophy, and practice to help our patients find the most minimally invasive answers to their back pain, and neck pain problems, and in some cases this means no cutting at all. When possible we initially try to use the least invasive (non-surgical) treatments to help our patients manage their back and neck pain, and we do this by using our very own network of highly specialized pain doctors. Only when non-invasive procedures have been ruled out, do we then begin to look at the minimally invasive surgical treatments as necessary options for our patients’ painful back and neck conditions. We take spine surgery seriously, but we make our patients long term health and wellness our first priority.

Using innovative techniques, cutting-edge technology, and evidence-based medicine, minimally invasive spine surgery may be a treatment option for your spinal disorder or chronic back and neck pain. Because the minimally invasive industry has become so overly competitive, multiple misconceptions and doubts have resulted. And while many doctors claim to be able to perform minimally invasive spine procedures, few physicians are actually trained to do so, making it even more important than ever for patients to not only interview their prospective doctors, but to also know the right questions to ask. It is becoming more and more important for patients to be able and willing to educate themselves on the correct answers to their medical procedures.

“Minimally Invasive SpineCARE” doctors are  trained spine specialists who never use the typical expandable retractors. Our innovative and cutting edge minimally invasive spine equipment allows us to go between the muscle, often through an incision as small as 3 mm (the size of a large piece of rice), to avoid cutting the muscle altogether.

No two people are alike…

No two patients are alike, so why do other doctors and surgeons use the exact same outdated procedures on each and every person. At Minimally Invasive SpineCARE, our comprehensive list of spine procedures are always tailored to each and every patient’s exact condition. We never take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to surgeries that are so life changing. With the ability to treat pain with small lasers, in many cases our patients experience only local anesthesia, day surgery and a Band-Aid® for healing, resulting in less recovery time, less trauma, and less scarring.

Innovative Pain Mapping

Utilizing state-of-the-art tools, pain mapping is a groundbreaking process that allows for the precise pinpointing and isolation of back and neck pain. When a nerve becomes irritated, it can be extremely challenging to find the exact pain source and often MRIs or CT scans are not adequate. But at Minimally Invasive SpineCARE, we use real-time, medication-filled X-ray injections to find the specific nerve causing the pain, a procedure that is highly successful and rare to find among our peers, as it must be performed by a trained physician.

Fellowship-Trained Specialists

Unlike other practices, our surgeons are trained spine specialists, more specifically, fellowship-trained and educated in the most innovative, minimally invasive laser technologies on the medical market. As leaders and innovators in their field, the Minimally Invasive SpineCARE doctors are advisers to many international spine technology companies and have helped design many groundbreaking tools for the spine surgery industry.

What to ask?

It is more important than ever for patients to not only interview doctors, but to know what questions to ask as well as the correct answers to these oh so important questions. When comparing your options with other clinics or specialists, make sure that they at least offer the same benefits as we do at  “Minimally Invasive SpineCARE“.

Final Thoughts on MIS

Compared to traditional open spine surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery utilizes the knowledge of important anatomy, along with cutting-edge technology, to treat your spinal condition without causing undue injury to the surrounding soft tissues. Computer-assisted technology (such as computer navigation and nerve monitoring) and highly specialized tools and instrumentation provide for the safe and effective treatment of your pain.
