Laser Spine Surgery at LSI May Be an Alternative for Those with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
You may have suffered with back or neck pain for months or even years before your doctor recommended spine surgery. You patiently tried each of the treatments prescribed, including the spinal decompression, acupuncture, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications and steroid injections, but none of them offered lasting, effective relief. When your doctor finally said back surgery was probably the best solution, it may have seemed like the answer to your prayers: an end to the pain. But if after the hospitalization, physical therapy and months of painful recovery you still aren’t pain-free, there may be one more treatment to try: laser spine surgery at LSI. Depending on your particular situation, we may be able to use our advanced, endoscopic procedures to repair your failed back surgery and solve the problem once and for all.
Our spine surgery has helped patients with:
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Bone spurs
- Foraminal stenosis
And, it does so in a gentle manner much different than the traditional open-back surgery you may have already undergone. Our spine surgery requires no hospitalization or general anesthesia, and our surgeons utilize only one small incision. The outpatient procedure is conducted in one of our three surgical centers, and the risk for infection much lower than for traditional back surgeries conducted in hospitals. Additionally, the large majority of our patients are back to their normal activities within two weeks of surgery, and more than 85% experience relief from their symptoms within three months. Some of our patients even feel relief while they are still on the operating table.
