What to Expect After Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Feeling overwhelmed after spine surgery? You’re not alone. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) helps you heal faster and with less pain.

At Saville Spine Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Dr. Philip Saville, Dr. Lawrence Gorfine, and Dr. Jason Meldau guide patients through every stage of healing.

Recovery Timeline
First 48 Hours: Mild soreness and fatigue are normal, but pain is usually less than expected.
First Week: Most patients go home within 24 hours. Keep your incision clean, avoid heavy lifting, and take short walks.
Weeks 1–2: Pain improves; light physical therapy helps restore movement and strength.
Weeks 3–6: Gradual return to work and daily activities—steady progress is key.
2–3 Months: Most feel near normal with better mobility and less pain.

Bottom Line:
Recovery with MISS is faster and smoother. With Saville Spine Institute’s expert care, you’ll heal safely and get back to living pain-free.

Cervical Disc Replacement vs. Fusion: Which Is Right for You?

When neck pain doesn’t improve with therapy or medication, surgery may be the next step. The two main options are cervical disc replacement and spinal fusion.

Disc Replacement – Replaces the damaged disc with an artificial one to keep natural motion.
Benefits: Faster recovery, less stress on nearby discs, and fewer future surgeries.

Spinal Fusion – Fuses two vertebrae for lasting stability.
Benefits: Proven for arthritis or multi-level issues, though it limits motion.

Disc Replacement: Keeps motion | Faster recovery
Fusion: Adds stability | Best for complex cases

At Saville Spine Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Dr. Saville, Dr. Gorfine, and Dr. Meldau help patients find the right solution for their needs and lifestyle.

Bottom Line:
Both can relieve neck pain—your goals determine which one’s best for you.
