Minimally-Invasive Spinal Surgery in Somerset County, NJ

When non-surgical alternatives haven’t been enough to relieve back or neck pain, spine surgery at Performance Ortho helps our patients move better and reduce pain. As part of our commitment to an extraordinary patient experience, our spinal surgery options utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques to address problems with vertebrae, intervertebral discs, nerves, and the spinal cord. 

What is Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery?

After making a small incision, our surgeon inserts a pencil-sized instrument equipped with a camera and lighting system that illuminate and magnify the structures in the spine. These minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgery techniques allow our patients to recover faster, with less risk of scarring, infection, and other complications.
