Los Angeles Spine Surgeon K. Rad Payman, MD appears on NBC News to show how minimally invasive spine surgery and a new approach called "micro-decompression" may be the best option for those who need spine surgery for back pain due to conditions such as spinal stenosis.

K. Rad Payman, MD of Advanced Spine Institute says lower back pain is successfully treated with a variety of treatments ranging from non-surgcial therapies, medication and advanced spinal surgery techniques, depending on each person's condition.
