Groundbreaking Back and Neck Pain Treatment From LSI

Since so many of us – the vast majority of adults, in fact – will experience or have experienced significant back or neck pain in their lower and upper back, it’s reasonable to assume the most people know how debilitating and even emotionally unhealthy it can be. The pain itself, let alone the decreased mobility or loss of sensation that might accompany it, can render you unable to work, unable to play with your kids, unable to go fishing or play golf or build birdhouses – whatever your hobby might be. It may even make getting out of bed difficult, if for no other reason than the anticipation of yet another day of not being able to do the things you need and want to do. For this reason, Laser Spine Institute (LSI) gives you cause to celebrate freedom from back and neck pain. Treatment has never been more high-tech.

Disadvantages of Traditional Back Surgery

At LSI, we employ some of the most renowned orthopedic surgeons, all of whom are experts at performing our signature procedures: laser-assisted, endoscopic spine procedures that are a universe away from traditional open spine surgery in a number of ways:

• Invasiveness – Whereas open spine surgery requires a large incision, the cutting of muscle, and the exposing of a considerable portion of the spine, our procedures are minimally invasive. We only need an incision of about half an inch, and we access exactly the part of the spine that we need using fiberoptic cameras and very small surgical implements.
• Hospitalization and Recovery Time – Because open spine surgery is so invasive, it requires hospitalization and then a long period of recovery. Patients who undergo an endoscopic procedure at LSI, however, often are able to leave for home within a few hours and can return to full activity within a matter of days.
• Risk – All surgical procedures carry some degree of risk – there’s no getting around that. Patients undergoing open spine surgery must receive general anesthesia, though; LSI’s endoscopic patients receive a local anesthetic and deep IV sedation runs less risk than general anesthesia, and our minimally invasive procedures themselves run less risk of complications or infection.
• Pain and Discomfort – Due to the invasive nature of open back surgery, recovering patients must endure a great deal more pain and immobility than patients who seek treatment at LSI. In fact, our patients often report immediate reductions in their pain symptoms.

Clearly, the high-tech options available at Laser Spine Institute far outclass the traditional, invasive, and disruptive open spine surgery – and we’ve established this without even addressing the fact that around half of all open spine operations fail to alleviate the original symptoms, and may make them worse. That’s why LSI invites you to contact us to schedule a free review of your MRI or CT scan if your doctor thinks it’s time to consider back surgery. We’ll be happy to discuss even further the benefits of what we do – which, ultimately, is helping people reclaim their lives.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
