Spine Compression Treatment from Laser Spine Institute

At Laser Spine Institute (LSI), we alleviate spine compression with treatment all across the country. In fact, our minimally invasive, gentle endoscopic spine techniques have helped tens of thousands of people from all across the globe. What makes LSI special, and what can you expect from your treatment?

Technological Advances in Medicine

In recent years, America has seen an unprecedented rise in the popularity of outpatient clinics. As modern medicine has advanced, many procedures have become streamlined to the point of not requiring a traditional hospital setting for success. Procedures like wisdom teeth extraction, cosmetic surgery, and Lasik eye surgery are all done every day with great success outside of orthopedic hospitals. Likewise, at Laser Spine Institute, we are able to treat many of the same spinal?treatments that have traditionally required open back surgery with gentle lasers instead.

Decompression Treatment

For example, one of the most prevalent conditions that can lead to back or neck pain is spine compression. Treatment from LSI usually entails:

• An evaluation of our new patient, complete with a review of his or her medical history, a physical examination and any other tests necessary to increase the efficacy of the procedure.
• A meeting with one of our orthopedic surgeons to discuss the patient’s MRI, CT scan or X-ray, and receive diagnostic injections, if necessary, to pinpoint the source of the spine compression.
• A meeting with a surgeon and anesthesiologist on the day of the procedure to discuss the specific steps of the treatment and to go over the deep IV sedation that is typically used during the procedure.
• The procedure is performed and the nerve is decompressed – often in less than an hour. The piece of tissue compressing the nerve is carefully removed using gentle lasers.
• The patient returns home the very same day.
• Over the next couple of days, our patients are educated on how to live a healthy, post-surgery lifestyle as well as for a final consultation. Physical therapy may be recommended.
