Find the Right Orthopedic Spine Surgeon for Your Back or Neck Pain at LSI
When you’re in extreme pain which is often the case when the spine is involved, it can be tempting to opt for surgery with the first orthopedic spine surgeon you lay eyes on. The pain is unbearable and you want it to stop as soon as possible. But at Laser Spine Institute, we urge you to do your research and find the best surgeon for your condition. And like thousands of others, you may find yours at LSI. We perform more than 400 surgeries a month and the majority of our patients come from other states to meet with an orthopedic spine surgeon here. Some even travel to us from other countries. They come from far and wide because we have earned a reputation for providing successful, minimally invasive surgeries that treat everything from ruptured discs and sciatica to foraminal stenosis and bone spurs. These surgeries are not only attractive in their own right, but they are also impressive when compared to traditional back or neck surgery, which requires hospitalization, general anesthesia, muscle damage, and months of recovery.
By contrast, here are some of the benefits you’ll experience with a procedure by an orthopedic spine surgeon at LSI:
- No hospitalization
- Use of only local anesthesia and an IV drip for sedation
- A small, shallow incision that doesn’t cut through muscle or bone
- Low risk of infection, about 0.1%
- A short recovery time
Most of our patients return to their normal activities within two weeks of surgery, and most feel a decrease in symptoms within three months of the procedure. Some even feel relief when they are still on the operating table.
If this sounds like a good solution for your back or neck pain and you’d like to learn more about our procedures and how they are performed by an orthopedic spine surgeon, contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free to determine whether you’re a good candidate for one of our procedures.
