Spinal Arthritis Relief through Laser Spine Surgery

Spinal Arthritis Relief through Laser Spine Surgery

Spinal arthritis is a potentially disabling condition that can rob you of your ability to work, play with your children or grandchildren, or even take a leisurely walk. In addition to back pain and spinal stiffness, spinal arthritis symptoms can include pain that runs down into the buttocks, thighs, and pelvic area. Sufferers also may experience pain or tenderness in the shoulders, knees, hips, and heels, as well as weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. In severe cases, spinal arthritis can cause problems such as trouble walking, loss of bowel and bladder control, curvature of the spine, and the inability to bend over.

Left untreated, spinal arthritis can lead to all-over physical weakness, depression, and anxiety. When standard treatment options fail to help spinal arthritis symptoms, a doctor may recommend open back surgery such as spine fusion surgery or artificial disc replacement surgery.

If you are in search of alternatives to open back surgery, consider Laser Spine Institute. Our doctors have performed thousands of minimally invasive procedures to treat the pain caused by spinal arthritis. Patients have chosen to come to LSI because they:

  • Want to avoid the risks of open-back surgery such as general anesthesia, excessive scar tissue, and higher infection rates
  • Want to avoid the long recovery time required by open-back surgery
  • Would rather not resort to spine fusion, which restricts movement and may result in stress elsewhere in the spine
  • Have not had any success with chiropractor visits, massage, acupuncture, medications, and other more conservative treatments
  • Have been told by their doctor that nothing can be done
  • Prefer a quick, gentle outpatient surgery with a short recovery time and higher success rates

If you are suffering from the symptoms of spinal arthritis and you want to explore the possibility of laser spine surgery, please contact Laser Spine Institute today. One of our experts can provide you with a free MRI or CT scan review, as well as options to end your back pain and get your life back.
