At The MSI, we believe in using the least invasive treatment option possible. Noninvasive treatments include pain management, rehabilitation, and physical and occupational therapy. When surgical intervention is needed, the Spine Institute uses the latest in technology and innovation to perform the least invasive surgery possible with the most effective and safe results. Minimally invasive microsurgical and techniques are used on an inpatient or outpatient basis for certain interventions, including discectomies, while major surgical capabilities are available for more complicated problems. Spine surgeries are performed at the new state-of-the-art, technologically advanced operating rooms at Kendall Regional Medical Center and Baptist Hospital.
