Orthopedic Surgeries

The renowned team of surgeons and medical professionals at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) offer four distinct primary orthopedic surgeries to patients looking for pain relief. These minimally invasive, outpatient endoscopic spine procedures alleviate many of the sources of back and neck pain and have helped tens of thousands of people from all over the world rediscover a life without pain. Our experienced and talented team of orthopedic doctors use state-of-the-art, gentle lasers to address the source of your discomfort and get you back on the road to recovery without the obvious downsides of traditional open back surgery.

Minimally Invasive Procedures from Laser Spine Institute

Our four primary procedures are:

• Foraminotomy – the surgeon relieves pressure on nerve roots by cleaning the intervertebral foramina, which are narrow vertebral canals where the nerves exit the spinal canal.
• Facet Thermal Ablation – the surgeon cleans the facet joint, removing excess tissue, bone spurs and other sources of pain and also deadens the nearby nerve endings.
• Laminotomy – the surgeon creates more room for the spinal cord in the spinal column by removing a small ligament, known as the ligamentum flavum, that can cause nerve compression.
• Percutaneous Discectomy- the surgeon removes the piece of a herniated intervertebral disc that is causing nerve compression.

While these procedures treat different conditions, they have one thing in common: they alleviate pain. Back and neck pain can take many forms, from chronic discomfort to muscle weakness caused by a compressed nerve, but with gentle lasers, our team is able to pinpoint the precise location of the problem and make a careful adjustment. As a result, our procedures are quicker, less painful, and require much shorter recovery than traditional open spine orthopedic surgeries.
