Laser Back Surgery is Successful in Treating Many Conditions—You May Be a Candidate

Laser Back Surgery is Successful in Treating Many Conditions—You May Be a Candidate

Whether you’re suffering with the shooting pains in your legs associated with a pinched nerve or herniated disc, or the weakness and tingling that occur with spinal stenosis, you may be a great candidate for laser back surgery at Laser Spine Institute. We treat thousands of patients annually—more than 400 a month—using procedures that directly address the cause of their back pain, using minimally invasive procedures that are both safe and effective. After making a tiny incision in the back, we use a tube to gently push aside muscle to access the problem area of the spine. From there we use a laser, tiny camera, and other tools, fed through the tube to remove whatever tissue is pressing on the spine or nerves and causing your condition.

At LSI we use laser back surgery to treat: 

  • Sciatica
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Pinched nerves
  • Bulging discs, herniated discs, ruptured discs
  • Foraminal stenosis

The benefits of laser back surgery are numerous when compared to traditional back surgery. For starters, the minimally invasive nature of the procedure allows us to perform it in an outpatient setting with deep IV sedation and local anesthesia. This reduces the risks associated with hospitalization such as infection, as well as the potential for serious complications associated with general anesthesia. Additionally, the small incision we use reduces trauma to surrounding tissue and muscle. This reduces the amount of scar tissue produced, which can build up around nerves and cause new back pain. And unlike traditional back surgery, recovery from laser back surgery is quick and relatively painless. LSI also achieves a high rate of success with its surgeries. More than 85% of our patients report an increase in the quality of their lives within three months of the surgery and some even report feeling relief while the surgery is still underway.

If you’d like to learn more about these benefits and how they can apply to you, contact us today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI for free to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for laser back surgery.
