Change Your Life!

Minimally Invasive Spine is Arizona’s Premier Spine Team focused on delivering the highest quality care.

At Minimally Invasive Spine, the MIS team understand the constraints that chronic neck and back pain can place on your personal and professional life. Often, our patients have endured continual pain for several years, finding little to no relief in conservative methods of pain management, such as chiropractic care and steroid injections. Our goal is to help our patients find relief from pain and regain their quality of life through minimally invasive spine surgery specific to each patient's spinal condition.

Bulging Disc

A bulging disc is quite common, and usually remains undetected until the disc bulge comes in contact with adjacent nerves leading to pain and other symptoms.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is not truly a disease, but more of a chain of events that naturally occur as we age. There is no avoiding degenerative disc disease, but you may slow its progress.

Disc Tear

As the outer shell of your disc begins to toughen or dry up, a painful crack or tear could happen. Learn what a disc tear is, and how you can recover from it.

Facet Joint Syndrome

Facet Joint Syndrome refers to the degeneration of the arthritic changes that occur in your facet joints. Age and daily wear and tear are the most common culprits.

Foraminal Stenosis
