Advanced Lumbar Fusion at NYSI White Plains

When chronic lower back pain, nerve compression, or spinal instability begins to affect your daily life, surgical intervention may be the path to lasting relief. At New York Spine Institute in White Plains, NY, we specialize in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)—a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore spinal stability, relieve pressure on nerves, and improve overall function.

Conveniently located at 14 Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains, our office provides expert spine surgery, offering full-service care in the heart of Westchester County.

What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a form of spinal fusion performed on the lower back (lumbar spine). The procedure involves removing a damaged or herniated disc and placing a bone graft or interbody cage between two vertebrae. Over time, this promotes the growth of new bone, permanently stabilizing the segment and relieving nerve compression.

At NYSI White Plains, we often perform TLIF using minimally invasive techniques—which means smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, and a faster recovery for our patients.

Conditions Treated with TLIF

Our spine surgeons may recommend TLIF when nonsurgical options like injections or physical therapy are no longer effective. Common conditions include:

Herniated discs causing leg pain or sciatica
Degenerative disc disease from age-related spine changes
Spondylolisthesis, or vertebral slippage
Spinal fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis
Mild scoliosis or structural instability in the lumbar spine

Each diagnosis is confirmed with advanced imaging and a thorough physical evaluation to determine if TLIF is the right approach.
