Back pain affects millions of people worldwide and is one of the leading causes of disability. While many cases improve with physical therapy, medication, and exercise, some individuals continue to experience persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life. In some cases, chronic back pain may result from structural spinal problems or even a chronic inflammatory spine disease that requires specialized treatment. When conservative treatments no longer provide adequate relief, surgery may become an option. One increasingly popular approach is minimally invasive back surgery (MIBS) , which uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to treat spinal conditions while reducing damage to surrounding tissues. What Is Minimally Invasive Back Surgery?

Genetics alone do not cause RA but significantly raise risk when combined with external triggers. Environmental Tr...
