If you’ve had chronic back pain for a while, you’ve tried many treatments, including pain medications and injections, to ease your discomfort. When conservative methods don’t eliminate your pain, you need alternative options that work. End the cycle of unsuccessful back pain treatments with minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS). Find relief in the hands of expert spine surgeons at The Spine & Rehab Group in Paramus, NJ.

Unlike traditional open spine surgery, which often involves large incisions and significant disruption to muscles, MISS relies on much smaller incisions—usually less than an inch. Specialized instruments like tubular retractors and endoscopes allow surgeons to access the affected area with precision while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
