Least Invasive Procedures are an evolving philosophy of treating painful spine patients with less invasive procedures before ever considering traditional and minimally invasive spine surgery. Our spine procedures are less invasive than minimally invasive surgery. Improved technologies and techniques are tailored for pinpointing pain generators in the spine and then approaching the spine with either regenerative medicine (Stem Cell Therapy) or endoscopic procedures that relieve the pain and reduce the collateral damage and tissue disruption that MIS and traditional spine surgery can cause.

Our Least Invasive Procedures are an excellent alternative to spinal fusion. Although we do offer patients minimally invasive spine surgery when appropriate, most of our patients do very well without more invasive spine surgery or spinal fusion. In fact, for select patients, our least invasive procedures are as effective as traditional spinal surgery in reducing painful conditions without spinal fusion and less trauma to the muscles supporting your back. In addition, our least invasive procedures have faster recovery times and return to work and life.

Stem Cell Therapy

Regenerative stem cells therapy offers patients suffering from discogenic back pain a less invasive healing option. Stem cell therapy performed by our surgeon is an innovative way to use your body’s own stem cells to treat degenerative and discogenic back pain. After conservative efforts have failed and the patient is still in pain, this is an excellent alternative to invasive surgery.

Endoscopic Discectomy

The endoscopic spine procedure is the least invasive procedure used to treat herniated, protruded, extruded, bulging discs and disc tears that compress or irritate the spinal nerves causing back or leg pain. Through a ¼ inch incision, the smallest in spine surgery, an endoscope with HD camera is inserted to visualize and decompress the herniated disc, annular tear and spinal nerves.
