Your Questions Answered: Spine Surgery FAQs From Our Patients

What does “minimally invasive surgery” mean?

Gone are the days of undergoing traditional open back surgery and a long, difficult recovery for those who suffer from neck or back conditions – minimally invasive surgery is the safer, more effective, and less painful alternative.

OLSS has developed a special minimally invasive technique that lessens recovery time and the pain associated with surgery by using tiny incisions and preserving the muscles and tissue surrounding your spine. The results are longer lasting and more effective than traditional surgery. For more on OLSS’s minimally invasive methodology, check out our blog on what “minimally invasive” really means and how it can help you find long-term pain relief.

How experienced are your surgeons?

Our surgeons are board-certified leaders in the orthopedic field with over 30 years of surgical expertise. When you choose OLSS, you choose a quick, safe, and effective experience. Your personally assigned surgeon will work with you to provide a tailored treatment plan that’s right for you – so when you visit our clinic on surgery day, you can rest assured you’re in the right hands.
