The ISSI Approach to Minimally Invasive Surgery

Back and neck pain can be an extremely painful, even debilitating experience, and it can make living a normal life very difficult. Minimally invasive surgery can help you find relief quickly, with little trauma to the body and a faster recovery than traditional open back surgery. Our board-certified surgeons are committed to giving you a better standard of living through advanced surgical techniques and quality patient care.

The ISSI team of pain and spine specialists will meticulously assess and diagnose your spine condition to find the right treatment for you. We always exhaust all conservative treatment options before turning to surgery. If you are not seeing success with non-surgical treatments, we will recommend a minimally invasive spine surgery for you based on your specific condition. The majority of our minimally invasive procedures are outpatient and can have you recovering at home in no time.

If chronic spine, back, or neck pain is affecting your standard of living, ISSI can help you get back to the life you deserve.

See what some of our patients say about their treatment experience with the ISSI surgeons and staff.

I just want to take a moment and thank everyone for their great customer service, especially when it came to making a patient feel welcome and less nervous in regards to their pending surgery. Everyone was very pleasant. The surgery center was the first-of-its-kind for me and I have been in many. I wasn’t looked at just another procedure on the list. Your staff made me feel at ease before and after each of my procedures. I had six of them since June of 2016 and they knew me by my first name which made it more personable and very warming. All of your staff were amazing and as I come to the end of my journey with you, I have to say I would recommend your surgery center to everyone (which I already did).
