Why Choose Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

  • Smaller Incisions – Faster healing and minimal scarring.

  • High Precision & Safety – Advanced imaging ensures spine surgery accuracy and reduces risk.

  • Less Pain & Faster Recovery – Minimal tissue disruption allows a quicker return to daily activities.

  • Shorter Hospital Stay – Many procedures allow for same-day discharge.

What Spinal Conditions Can Be Treated?

At MacKay Spine & Brain, our expert spine specialist and neurosurgeon specializes in treating various spinal conditions that cause pain, limited movement, and reduced quality of life. Our minimally invasive spine surgery effectively addresses this.

  • Herniated or Bulging Discs – When the soft center of a disc pushes through its tough exterior, causing nerve compression and pain.

  • Spinal Stenosis – A spinal canal narrowing that puts pressure on the nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

  • Sciatica & Nerve Compression – Compression of the sciatic nerve, often causing sharp pain that radiates down the legs.

  • Spinal Fractures & Deformities – Structural damage from injury, osteoporosis, or congenital conditions requiring expert surgical intervention.

  • Spondylolisthesis – When one vertebra slips forward over another, leading to nerve pain and spinal instability.

  • Chronic Lower Back & Neck Pain – Persistent pain linked to degenerative spine conditions or mechanical issues.

  • Other Degenerative Spine Conditions – Including arthritis, disc degeneration, and age-related spinal issues that affect mobility.

    • Smaller Incisions, Minimal Scarring – Tiny cuts mean faster healing and better cosmetic results.

    • Less Blood Loss, Lower Infection Risk – Reduced bleeding & minimal exposure lower complications.

    • Faster Recovery, Shorter Hospital Stays – Many patients go home the same day and return to activities sooner.

    • Less Pain, More Comfort – Minimal tissue disruption means less swelling, less pain, and fewer meds.

    • High Precision, Better Outcomes – Real-time imaging ensures pinpoint accuracy and lasting results.

  • Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the procedure and individual healing process.
