Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) utilizes specialized tools and smaller incisions to perform the procedure. When compared to traditional spine fusion surgery, MISS presents several benefits, such as enhanced mobility and flexion extensions. One of the primary advantages of MISS is that the procedure causes less tissue damage and scarring due to the smaller incisions used. This approach helps maintain muscle and soft tissue function in the affected area while also minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and structures.

We understand our patients lead active lives, so our value proposition lies in our capacity to provide same-day outpatient surgical procedures—including M6 artificial disc replacements—to our patients hailing from locations across the globe who seek treatment from our experienced team of medical professionals.

A disc bulges when the outer layer of a vertebral disc swells outward and places pressure on the surrounding nerves and structures. Although a bulging disc is similar to a herniated disc, it is different in that the inner material has not seeped out through the outer layer of the disc. A bulging disc will usually occur in the lower back or the neck, but may also very rarely be found in the mid back.

Coccydynia is a medical term for the pain caused when you sit down abruptly placing too much pressure on your coccyx and damaging it. Damage to the coccyx is difficult to heal and sometime will not heal completely. Because this bone is not needed in our body, sometimes it is easiest just to remove it to alleviate the pain from a traumatic fall if conservative treatment methods fail.

As people age, bone strength and muscle elasticity and tone tend to decrease. The lumbar discs begin to lose fluid and flexibility, which decreases their ability to cushion the vertebrae. If the spine becomes overly strained or compressed, a disc may rupture or bulge outward. This rupture may put pressure on one of the more than 50 nerves rooted to the spinal cord that control body movements and transmit signals from the body to the brain.

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the space in the spinal canal that is reserved for the spinal cord and the nerves that exit this area. When this area becomes narrowed, it places pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves leading to neurological symptoms.

Sometimes the back and leg pain are made better when leaning forward and walking such as leaning on a shopping cart. Spinal stenosis is most commonly observed in the lower back and the neck but occasionally presents in the middle back as well.
