At Georgia Brain & Spine Center
Most patients associate spine surgery with serious risks and long recovery periods. While that’s true sometimes, the reality is that many patients are candidates for minimally invasive spine surgery instead.
Minimally invasive spine surgery is called "minimally invasive" because it does not involve a long incision, so it avoids significant damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. In traditional spine surgeries, the treatment area is "opened" to allow for a better view and access to the anatomy. Technology and specialized training now lets more and more patients skip these extensive procedures for less invasive surgeries, generally allowing for less pain after surgery and a faster recovery.
At Georgia Brain & Spine Center, our neurosureons have the technology and advanced expertise to offer several types of minimally invasive spine surgery. These include:
- Foraminotomy to treat foraminal stenosis
- Laminotomy and discectomy to treat herniated or bulging disks
- Various types of joint fusions
- Cervical disc replacement surgery for a herniated disc or spinal stenosis
With any spine injury or spine condition, the first step is pinpointing the problem and creating a personalized treatment plan. Schedule your appointment with Georgia Brain & Spine Center.
