What are the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure?
The primary advantage is that it is highly effective and very low risk since there is no interference with the muscles, bones, or joints or manipulation of the nerves in your neck and back area. Since only small probes are inserted through the muscle at the incision, there is very little if any scarring in or around the nerves. Because many of The Minimally Invasive Spine Institute’s procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, you may be allowed to return home the day of the procedure. Many patients worldwide fly in for the procedure and fly out the next day.
