"I had so much back and leg pain that I was unable to go to work. After seeing a physician in the Alexandria Neurosurgical Clinic I made the decision to undergo surgery and have made a full recovery. The pain and numbness is gone and I have returned to work without any restrictions. Thank you for giving me back control of my life."

- Greg K., Alexandria, LA

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINAL SURGERY

Minimally invasive spinal surgery involves the use of techniques that access the spine resulting in less disruption, less post-operative pain and less blood loss. The spine can be accessed more easily and hardware can be placed more accurately than traditional techniques. Hardware placement can be checked before leaving the operating room which may result in less spinal revisions.
