Laser Back Surgery Provides a Safer, More Effective Alternative to Traditional Back Surgery

If like many Americans you suffer from back pain, you’ve probably taken part in the long, often frustrating process of trying to treat it. It starts with conservative therapies meant to manage pain: hot and cold compresses, pain killers, anti-inflammatory medications, massage, chiropractic adjustments—the list goes on. While those methods normally provide some measure of relief, it’s often only temporary. From there your doctor may tell you that there is no way to eliminate your pain, or he or she may suggest back surgery. If you are considering it, you should research the traditional methods as well as laser back surgery. For most back pain—including sciatica, herniated disc, pinched nerve, and stenosis—the surgical solution involves removing the bone or other tissue that’s compressing the spine or nerves and triggering pain.

The difference between traditional and laser back surgery lies in the way that relief is accomplished:

• During traditional surgery, a large incision is made into the skin and muscle, exposing the spinal canal. In laser surgery, a smaller incision is made, and a tube is used to push muscle aside so the surgeon can access the problem area.
• Traditional back surgery often requires the removal of bone to access the problem area or relieve pressure on the spine. This often requires the incised vertebrae to be fused to the adjacent bone because it is weakened.
• Traditional back surgery requires hospitalization and general anesthesia. Surgery with LSI is an outpatient procedure that utilizes only deep IV sedation and general anesthesia. 

These differences have a huge impact on back surgery patients. Those who choose laser back surgery have a lower risk of infection, generate less scar tissue, recover quicker, and are less likely to have a return to back pain.

If this sounds like the type of solution you’ve been seeking for your back pain, contact LSI today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free to determine whether you are a good candidate for one of our procedures.
