See and hear our own Dr. Leipzig describe the process of minimally invasive back surgery. This informative video, which is also found on our Services Page, features Diane, a grandmother and back surgery patient.
Spine stenosis or a narrowing of the spinal canal results in nerve pinching and other symptoms, including heavy or numb legs. Not all spinal stenosis patients need surgery but, sometimes, spinal fusion or other spine therapy is required.
Minimally-invasive spine surgery is a “revolution in surgical spine care,” allowing surgery without effecting the muscles around the spine, resulting in faster recovery time. Diane was walking the same day after her surgery and she is “forever grateful because now she can enjoy the simple pleasures in life again.”
Dr. Leipzig is a board-certified, Salem, Virginia spine surgeon with over two decades of experience.
