Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Patients May Benefit from Laser Spine Institute

Lumbar spondylolisthesis afflicts countless people every year, but only a portion of them experience symptoms. Unfortunately, those symptoms can be severely painful and can include tingling, numbness, weakness and even shock-like sensations. All of these are caused by nerve compression, which sometimes occurs during lumbar spondylolisthesis. That condition, marked by one vertebrae slipping out of place onto another can sometimes cause nerve compression if a nerve gets caught between the two. The lower back, or lumbar region, is highly susceptible to this condition because it’s the area of the spinal canal that bears the most weight. Athletes are often at a higher risk for this condition as are those with a genetic predisposition for it. If you’ve been diagnosed with lumbar spondylolisthesis, your doctor may use a variety of treatments to control your symptoms including special exercises, elimination of certain activities, or a back brace. In the most severe cases, surgery may be suggested.

If your doctor has suggested surgery, you may want to consider endoscopic surgery at Laser Spine Institute because:

• It requires no hospitalization. At LSI our back surgeries are all out patient and we perform them in our state-of-the-art surgery center.
• It uses only local anesthesia and IV sedation. This means you’ll avoid the risks associated with general anesthesia. 
• It uses only a small incision that limits the risk for infection and requires only a short healing time.
• It has an 85% success rate in reducing symptoms for lumbar spondylolisthesis.

These are benefits you can’t experience with traditional open-back surgery, which requires general anesthesia, hospitalization, months of recovery, potential nerve damage from failed spinal fusion, and more.

If you’d like to learn more about the treatments for lumbar spondylolisthesis available at Laser Spine Institute, contact us today. We can let you know if you are a good candidate for one of our procedures after a free review of your MRI or CT scan.
