State of the Art/ Next GenerationMinimally Invasive Surgery
(MIS) Technique
Minimally invasive back surgery has been used for many years now, and what this means has changed over time. Next generation minimally invasive techniques leave the strong muscle fibers attached to the spine, allowing strength to be maintained. Just as placing a phone call has transformed from the dial phone on a desk to the smart phone in your hand, minimally invasive surgery has changed the way many spine problems are treated, allowing for earlier mobilization and less early postoperative pain.

I found Dr.Hiratzka a great doctor
I found Dr.Hiratzka a great doctor that was always willing to take as much time as I wanted to discuss my medical with me. He also did a wonderfull job of making sure to explain things in a way that didn't require me to be a doctor to understand him. I will miss having him to finish seeing me through my recovery period. I wish him all the best with his change in life.
