Minimally Invasive Procedures
Endoscopic Surgery
Endoscopic Surgery
At Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute, we continually strive to offer the most advanced, minimally invasive treatments for spinal conditions.
Epidural Injection
Epidural Injection
Epidural injections contain a strong anti-inflammatory agent called corticosteroid and an anesthetic for pain relief. It is not the same as an epidural anesthesia given before birth to decrease labor pain.
Facet Joint Injection
Facet Joint Injection
Facet joint injections are epidural injections contain a strong anti-inflammatory agent called corticosteroid and an anesthetic for pain relief. It is not the same as an epidural anesthesia given before birth to decrease labor pain.
Laminectomy
Laminectomy
Laminectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is highly effective for patients suffering from spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or other spinal conditions. It aims to relieve nerve pressure, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility, helping you return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
Medial Branch Block Injections
Medial Branch Block Injections
Medial branch block is a local anaesthetic injection near the medial branch nerves to temporarily block the pain signal carried from the facet joints of the spine to the brain. It is used to assist in diagnosing the cause of back pain.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy
The lumbar spine is the lower part of the backbone between the thoracic spine and the lumbar sacrum or tailbone. This surgical procedure uses specialized instruments to remove part of a herniated disc in the lumbar spine.
Lumbar Fusions
Lumbar Fusions
Minimally invasive TLIF is a spinal fusion technique that relieves back and leg pain by stabilizing the lower spine through small incisions, allowing for faster recovery and reduced discomfort.
Rhizotomy
Rhizotomy
Medial Branch Nerve Resection Rhizotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that targets nerves near the facet joints to interrupt pain signals, offering long-term relief for chronic back pain when conservative treatments have failed.
SI Joint Injections
SI Joint Injections
SI Joint Injections are a minimally invasive treatment that delivers targeted relief to the sacroiliac joint, helping reduce inflammation, ease chronic lower back pain, and restore mobility when other treatments haven’t worked.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes spinal compression fractures with bone cement, providing pain relief, improved mobility, and restored spinal alignment when conservative treatments fail.
