With consultation centers conveniently located across the U.S., as well as surgical centers in Tampa, Philadelphia, and Scottsdale, Laser Spine Institute is here to help ifyou are considering surgery to treat your back or neck pain in the New York, NY, area or beyond. Above all else, it’s important to remember that you have a number of options available to find relief. All too often, a patient will consent to an invasive open spine surgery as a reactionary response to chronic back and neck pain without learning about the alternatives available. In fact, the vast majority of aches and pains – even those caused by spinal deterioration – can be managed with a steady course of conservative, noninvasive treatment, such as pain medication, low-impact exercise, and hot-cold therapy. In the event that these treatments prove ineffective, contact one of Laser Spine Institute’s conveniently located consultation centers, or visit one of our three regional surgical centers, to learn how a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure can help you rediscover your life without back and neck pain.

Endoscopic Treatment

For patients who don’t respond to conservative treatment, invasive back surgery isn’t the only chance for meaningful pain relief. Minimally invasive, outpatient endoscopic spine surgery is an appealing choice for many because the procedure can be completed in less than an hour and doesn’t require the recovery, rehabilitation, and risk typically associated with open spine operations. During an endoscopic procedure, an orthopedic surgeon is able to pinpoint the source of the patient’s discomfort and gently remove the problem without muscle dissection, bone grafts, hardware, or general anesthesia. Plus, as a result of advances in medical technology, spine doctors only require a small incision – less than an inch in length – to access the spine. This further limits the chances of excessive scar tissue formation, clotting, and infection.

• Degenerative disc disease
