MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
MIS Spine Surgery allows smaller incisions, potentially causing less trauma and scarring and faster recovery than traditional techniques. Dr. Song was the first neurosurgeon in Northern Nevada to perform a minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion

Sciatica
Sciatica describes an irritation of the sciatic nerve, the largest single nerve in the human body. Sciatic nerve irritation can result from compression of the sciatic nerve roots or from inflammation

Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of one or more spaces within your spine. Less space within your spine reduces the amount of space available for your spinal cord and nerves that branch off your spinal cord. A tightened space can cause the spinal cord or nerves to become irritated, compressed or pinched, which can lead to back pain and sciatica
