The spine is one of the most complex structures in the human body and plays a critical role in allowing movement and providing stability. Damage due to an injury or condition can affect the spine’s ability to move like it should, and you may experience symptoms including pain or discomfort, numbness, weakness, muscle stiffness, and more.
No matter the cause, this can be debilitating for many people. Whether your back pain resulted from a minor injury or you experience chronic pain and haven’t found relief, ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic procedures have been shown to provide relief,3 improve function,4 and preserve the natural motion of the spine.
Facet Joint Arthritis
This condition occurs when the cartilage in the small joints of the spine wears down, leading to pain and stiffness. It often causes discomfort in the back or neck, especially with certain movements like twisting or bending. Over time, the joints may become inflamed and swollen, further contributing to the pain. Treatment options include physical therapy, strengthening exercises, medications, and sometimes injections or surgical procedures to reduce inflammation and pain.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the canal or foramina within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves traveling through the spine. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your back and legs, often worsening with walking or standing. Symptoms may improve with sitting or leaning forward. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to surgical procedures for severe cases to relieve pressure on the nerves.
Herniated Discs
A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. The pain can be sharp and intense, often worsening with certain movements or positions. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, medications, injections, and, in some cases, surgery to remove the herniated portion of the disc.
What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Endoscopic spine surgery is an ultra-minimally invasive surgical technique performed by either an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon. Often, these procedures can be performed in an outpatient setting, potentially allowing you to go home the same day.5

Specially designed instruments like the endoscope, which is about the width of a pencil tip, allow surgeons to view and reach small areas of the spine without the need for the large incision required for traditional back surgery. This minimizes disruption and damage to muscles responsible for stabilizing the back and reduces the need to remove bone.
Why Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Faster recovery and return to normal activity8

Fewer postoperative complications and infections, less disruption to surrounding soft tissue, and a shorter hospital stay3,5,9

Endoscopic lumbar medial branch transection (MBT) is safe, effective, and provides long-term benefits up to 5 years postsurgery10

Requires smaller incisions, which leads to less muscle trauma compared to open or tubular surgeries
