Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a modern, patient-focused approach to treating chronic spinal conditions with smaller incisions, reduced tissue disruption, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Common conditions addressed include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs occur when the soft inner material of a disc leaks, compressing nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Spinal stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal, often due to arthritis or bone spurs, leading to nerve compression. Degenerative disc disease refers to the wear-and-tear of spinal discs, while spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra slips over another, destabilizing the spine.

MISS employs advanced imaging, specialized tools, and techniques like microdiscectomy or laminectomy, where surgeons use tubular retractors and endoscopes to access the spine through tiny incisions. This precision minimizes muscle damage, reduces blood loss, and lowers infection risks. Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays (often same-day discharge), reduced surgical pain, and quicker return to daily activities. Additionally, MISS is associated with fewer complications and improved long-term outcomes for many spinal issues.

By combining technological innovation with tailored treatment plans, Freehold Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery has become a cornerstone in managing spinal disorders, offering hope and relief to millions of individuals seeking effective, less intrusive solutions for chronic pain and mobility challenges.
