Laser Spinal Surgery Can Permanently Relieve Back and Neck Pain with Minimal Downtime

Choosing to undergo surgery as a way to relieve back and neck pain is a big decision, but for many people, it is the only one that offers the promise of a new life after conservative methods have failed. If you’re considering surgery, then you should know that open-back and neck procedures aren’t the only option. Endoscopic laser spine surgery at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide maximum relief with minimal recovery time.

Some reasons to choose LSI’s laser spinal surgery over traditional surgery include:

Setting - Traditional open-back and neck surgeries are performed in a hospital setting and may require visits to different facilities for the consultation, pre- and post-operative exams, and physical therapy. Endoscopic procedures at LSI are done on an outpatient basis at one of LSI’s own centers, and all visits are conducted on our campus. Our surgery centers are also outfitted with amenities to make both you and your caretaker(s) as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Recovery time - Not only does traditional surgery take longer, but it also requires a lengthy stay in the hospital to monitor for infection and recovery. A full return to activity, if it occurs at all, is usually not for six months or longer. In contrast, laser spinal surgery can take as little as 30-45 minutes, patients are released to go home or to their hotel the same day, and a full return to activity can be in as little as a few weeks.
Results - Depending on the condition being treated, traditional open-back and neck surgeries can involve fusions of vertebrae, which can impair mobility and even cause more back or neck problems down the road. Patients also run the risk of significant scarring, nerve damage, and a return of the symptoms. Laser spinal surgery at LSI has a high success rate of reducing or eliminating symptoms within a few weeks after surgery. There is minimal scarring because of the small incision, and no cutting of muscle, so trauma to the body is minimized.
