Who’s a Candidate for Minimally Invasive Surgery?
MISS is ideal for patients whose symptoms haven’t improved with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medications. It’s commonly used to treat:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis or vertebral slippage
- Compression fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis
- Benign spinal tumors or cysts
- Scoliosis or spinal curvature disorders
At NYSI Commack, we use imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) and a detailed clinical exam to confirm your diagnosis and determine if MISS is right for you.
