Bronx, NY MIS TLIF

Targeted spinal fusion for lasting relief—with less downtime and more mobility.

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.
