"Dr. Desai is an exceptional doctor. She has treated me for consistent pain in my knees and back and shoulder. After leaving her I feel a great relief and that relief lasts. Dr. Desai's bedside manor is wonderful. She takes the time to listen to your pains and then goes over a treatment plan which works !!! The office is modern and very clean. I highly recommend her and her practice."

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced technique designed to relieve pain and restore mobility with smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgery. Using specialized instruments and imaging technology, MISS effectively treats conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, helping patients get back to their daily lives with minimal downtime.
What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)?
MISS is a surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized tools to treat spinal conditions with less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues, leading to quicker recovery and reduced pain.
What conditions can MISS treat?
MISS is commonly used for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and some forms of spinal instability.
How does MISS compare to traditional spine surgery?
Unlike traditional open surgery, MISS involves smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced postoperative pain, and a faster return to normal activities.
What is the recovery time for MISS?
Recovery varies by patient and procedure, but many individuals experience shorter hospital stays and can return to light activities within a few weeks.
