Am I A Candidate?

When back problems develop because of injury, aging, wear and tear, or deformity, treatment options should focus on the actual source of the problem with the least amount of interruption to a patient's life.

Minimally invasive procedures made possible by Minimal Access Spinal Technologies (MAST) allow surgeons to treat back pain and deformity while achieving the same surgical objectives as traditional open surgeries. These technologies have been developed out of the advances made in the field of orthopedic minimal access surgeries over the past two decades. Video cameras, x-rays, detailed anatomy imaging, computer-assisted navigation, specially designed instruments and precise diagnostic tools provide alternatives to conventional open spine surgery.

If you are anticipating back surgery, print this page and take it to your doctor and ask if you are a potential candidate for Minimal Access Spinal Technologies.
