Living with back or neck pain can greatly affect your daily life.
If conservative treatments such as medication, injections, or physical therapy are not providing relief, you may be wondering about surgical options. Fortunately, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) offers an advanced approach that focuses on faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional open surgery. At the offices of Dr. Rolando Garcia, MD, MPH, we specialize in a wide range of minimally invasive techniques designed to help patients return to a more active and comfortable life.
What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery is a surgical approach that uses small incisions (often less than one inch long), specialized instruments, and real-time imaging to address spinal conditions. Instead of cutting through large areas of muscle and tissue, surgeons gently separate the muscles to reach the affected area.
Dr. Garcia is highly trained in advanced procedures such as:
- Lumbar fusion
- Percutaneous instrumentation
- Microendoscopic decompression/discectomy
- And other minimally invasive techniques

What Conditions Can Be Treated with MISS?
