Dr. Gollogly’s treatment employed minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery, instead of a fusion or disc replacement. 

Using this procedure, he was able to treat and manipulate Mr. Swanson’s spinal arthritis and a cyst that was putting pressure on his sciatic nerve.

Mr. Swanson was nearly fully recovered at just six weeks, post-operation.
