Get Back to Life with Expert Spine Fusion in the Bronx

When chronic lower back pain or nerve compression disrupts your ability to walk, work, or rest, it may be time to consider a more permanent solution. At New York Spine Institute in the Bronx, we offer Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF)—a modern surgical technique that stabilizes the spine and relieves nerve pressure with smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker return to normal life.

Located at 1200 Waters Place, Suite M105, our Bronx office delivers expert surgical consultations and follow-up care in a welcoming, local setting.

What Is MIS TLIF?

Minimally Invasive TLIF is a cutting-edge approach to spinal fusion. It involves removing a damaged disc and placing a bone graft or implant between two vertebrae to restore stability. Unlike traditional surgery, MIS TLIF uses a posterior approach and small incisions to preserve muscles and minimize trauma.

Benefits of MIS TLIF:

  • Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
  • Shorter hospital stays—often same-day discharge
  • Less postoperative pain and muscle disruption
  • Faster return to work, walking, and daily routines
  • Reduced risk of infection or complications

This approach is ideal for active Bronx residents who need strong results with less recovery time.

Conditions Treated with MIS TLIF

Our board-certified spine surgeons may recommend TLIF for patients whose back pain or nerve issues haven’t responded to non-surgical treatments. Common conditions include:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated or collapsed discs
  • Spondylolisthesis (slipping of a vertebra)
  • Spinal instability due to trauma or wear
  • Chronic sciatica or nerve root compression
  • Mild scoliosis requiring stabilization

You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, history, and health goals.

What to Expect from Surgery and Recovery

Before Surgery:

You’ll consult with one of our experienced spine surgeons, who will review your condition and help determine if MIS TLIF is your best option. Any necessary imaging or pre-op tests will be coordinated before surgery is scheduled.

During Surgery:

  • A small incision is made in your lower back
  • The damaged disc is carefully removed
  • A bone graft or cage is inserted between vertebrae
  • Stabilizing screws and rods are used to fuse the spine

After Surgery:

  • Most patients begin walking the same day or next
  • Return home within 24 hours is common
  • Physical therapy supports strength and flexibility
  • Post-op follow-ups take place right here in the Bronx
