Some Spinal Arthritis Patients May Be Candidates for Laser Spine Surgery

Some Spinal Arthritis Patients May Be Candidates for Laser Spine Surgery

Often, spinal arthritis is manageable with medication and exercise, but in some cases, spinal arthritis can put a damper on the most active lifestyles. Men and women who once enjoyed fishing, golfing, shopping, gardening, and a host of other pastimes have found themselves virtually crippled by the disease. If the symptoms of spinal arthritis have become too much to bear and are not improved with conservative treatments, patients may be told that the next step is fusion surgery or artificial disc surgery. Both of these are invasive procedures that come with potentially serious side effects and risks.

The good news is, Laser Spine Institute has another option available for spinal arthritis. Our laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that offers pain relief for the majority of patients, yet without many of the drawbacks of open back surgery.

You may be a candidate for laser spine surgery if:

  • Your doctor has recommended open back surgery, but you want alternatives to invasive procedures
  • Your doctor has said nothing can be done for your spinal arthritis, but you want another opinion
  • You want a shorter recovery time as well as a lower risk of infection
  • You want to choose procedures with a high rate of success
  • You want to avoid the dangers of general anesthesia and large incisions

Laser back surgery has helped many thousands of people say goodbye to spinal arthritis pain and get their lives back. And, Laser Spine Institute performs more laser spine procedures per month than any other facility worldwide, making us the logical choice for patients who wish to be being treated by an experienced, compassionate, and dedicated staff.

Please contact Laser Spine Institute today to receive a free MRI or CT scan review. Our gentle procedures have been shown to provide fast, effective spinal arthritis relief.
