# Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Institute
> The Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Institute offers exceptional neuromusculoskeletal and central nervous system diagnosis and treatment across its offices in San Antonio, Houston, and Upstate New York.

At the Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Institute, Board Certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon Yan Michael Li, MD, PhD, specializes in complex spine surgeries, including nonfusion artificial disc replacement, endoscopic foraminotomy, discectomy for nerve decompression, and complex revision spine surgeries. Patients receive care for conditions such as head trauma, herniated discs, spinal tumors, injuries, and chronic back and neck pain. Surgical pain management procedures, including endoscopic neurectomies for facet joint pain and spinal cord stimulator or pain pump implantation, are also offered when other treatments are unsuccessful.

The practice utilizes state-of-the-art technology like Globus Medical’s ExcelsiusGPS® robotic navigation platform to enhance diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes, particularly for minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISS) such as spinal decompression, discectomy, and fusion. The dedicated staff provides personalized treatment plans and support, answering questions and assisting patients from their initial visit through post-surgical follow-up. Innovative treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are also available for conditions such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and postconcussion syndrome.
