Minimally-Invasive Procedures

Minimally invasive procedures utilize several innovative techniques and approaches. At NYPMG, we specialize in:

• Discography

  A diagnostic procedure to evaluate spinal discs and identify sources of pain

• Vertebroplasty

  Used to stabilize fractured or weakened vertebrae in the spine

• Spinal cord stimulator

  An implantable device that manages chronic pain by modifying pain signals

• Endoscopic discectomy

  A minimally-invasive alternative to traditional open back surgery for disc herniation

• Intrathecal pump implant

  A small device is implanted under the skin to deliver medication directly into the spinal fluid

• Radiofrequency neurotomy

  Uses radiofrequency energy to selectively disrupt the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals

• Nucleoplasty (percutaneous discectomy)

  Uses radiofrequency technology to shrink and seal a damaged disc

Minimally-invasive procedures can effectively treat a wide range of conditions and symptoms, including but not limited to:

Minimally-invasive procedures offer a multitude of advantages over traditional surgery or other treatments, from reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery times to smaller incisions and lower risks of complications. Their precision and targeted approach make them exceptionally effective at providing pain relief and improving overall quality of life. These procedures have proven their efficacy in treating various conditions, allowing patients to regain their comfort and mobility.
