Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various ankle conditions.
Neck, back, and joint pain are common and often debilitating. With advances in medicine, we now offer minimally invasive and non-surgical treatments to relieve pain and enhance quality of life without surgery.
Minimally invasive non-surgical procedures are a groundbreaking shift in healthcare, focusing on minimizing the disruption to the body’s surrounding tissues to ensure quicker recovery and better results. This innovative approach diverges from traditional treatments, in that it can typically be performed as an outpatient procedure or a procedure with a very short hospital stay. By minimizing the tissue damage, complications for many minimally invasive procedures are often less common than their open surgery counterparts.
Some of the most common types of minimally invasive procedures are needle-based and injection procedures, including SI, Trigger Point, and Nerve Block Injections. You can learn more about these procedures by browsing our “Treatment Options” category in the main menu.
At Total Spine and Orthopedics, we typically view surgery as a last resort and will only recommend it when other treatment options have failed or are non-viable. In such cases, advancements in the field of spinal surgery have allowed traditional open fusion surgery to be replaced by minimally invasive alternatives such as endoscopic spine surgery. These procedures offer many of the benefits that our non-surgical treatments offer including significantly shorter recovery times so you can get back in action quicker, all while enjoying the reduced post-operative pain and reduced complication risks that minimally invasive surgery typically offers.
