Laser Spine Surgery Is a Faster & Safer Alternative to Other Procedures

When conservative treatments do not relieve the pain of your bulging disc, spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis, or other spinal condition, your doctor may tell you there is only one choice left - open back surgery. Unfortunately, open back surgery is an invasive procedure that may leave you with months of painful recovery time and potentially dangerous complications.

Thankfully, there is another option: laser spine surgery. At Laser Spine Institute, we use an endoscopic procedure to treat spinal conditions. Similar to the arthroscopic procedures that have been used on the knees and shoulders since the 1970s, our endoscopic spine surgery is done on an outpatient basis, usually takes about an hour, and gives many patients immediate relief.

If you have reached a point where you feel you need surgery to treat your spine condition, there are multiple reasons why you may prefer LSI’s laser spine surgery over open back surgery, such as:

Laser surgery involves much smaller incisions, meaning with minimal damage to muscle tissue.
You will be up and walking the same day as your surgery at LSI, compared to months of recovery and rehabilitation after open back surgery.
Laser surgery recovery time can be as little as two weeks.
Laser surgery at LSI does not require general anesthesia, but instead is done with local anesthesia, so you are awake and comfortable during the procedure.
You and your doctor can communicate throughout your laser spine surgery, enabling the doctor to confirm that your pain is gone and your nerve is free.
LSI’s dedication to sanitation and patient safety has resulted in an infection rate of 0.1%, compared to the national hospital average of 4%.
Laser surgery has a higher success rate than traditional surgeries.

Laser Spine Institute is the largest facility of its kind in the world. We have performed thousands of laser spine surgery procedures to treat disabling conditions such as sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis, and more. We welcome anyone who is considering laser spine surgery to contact us for a free MRI or CT scan review, as well as a discussion of the options available to address your back pain.
