This new minimally invasive surgery (MIS) gives welcome relief to people with low back pain, who are surgical candidates. The MIS procedure is performed via a very small incision, and limits the muscle damage and pain often associated with traditional back surgery. It also allows for more movement and faster return back to work and daily activities.
