Sciatica Treatment Options from Laser Spine Institute: Rediscover Life without Pain

Sciatica Treatment Options from Laser Spine Institute: Rediscover Life without Pain

Sometimes, the nerves exiting the bottom of the spine can become pinched, causing extreme pain, burning, tingling, and numbness that radiates from the buttocks and travels down the legs. The common term for this condition is sciatica, and its relentless pain can make standing, sitting, and walking unbearable.

At one time, the last resort for sciatica treatment was very invasive open back surgery which meant a hospital stay, long recovery time, general anesthesia, and the risk of infection. Now, Laser Spine Institute offers minimally invasive outpatient procedures which can free patients from the severe pain and immobility of sciatica.

In sciatica cases, LSI’s laser-assisted surgery removes or shrinks the herniated disc that is pressing upon nerves. Once the nerve root is free of the impingement, the pain, burning, and weakness of sciatica begin to disappear. At LSI, you also can expect:

  • A highly skilled and experienced medical team that performs more minimally invasive procedures each month than any other facility in the world
  • World class facilities with state-of-the-art imaging, physical therapy, and more
  • A high success rate, as more than 85%of our patients report an improvement in their symptoms within 3 months
  • A very low infection rate of under 0.1%, compared to the nationwide hospital average of 4%
  • A tiny incision that leaves minimal skin and tissue damage
  • A short recuperation, allowing you to quickly return to your normal activities
  • No hospitalization and no general anesthesia
  • A five-star experience with comforts like catered meals, computer-Internet access, plasma TVs, and zero-gravity chairs

Once LSI completes the minimally invasive sciatica procedure, the patient is up and walking within about an hour. Many of our patients say they feel sciatica relief in as little as two weeks, and some say they feel relief immediately.

Are you ready to be free of sciatica pain and live life to the fullest? Please contact Laser Spine Institute today for a free MRI or CT scan review.
