Spinal Arthritis Pain Relief Is Possible with Our 5-Day Process

Spinal Arthritis Pain Relief Is Possible with Our 5-Day Process

If you have been diagnosed with spinal arthritis, getting out of bed has probably become more difficult, and you may find it almost impossible to stand or walk for more than a few minutes. Sometimes the pain of spinal arthritis may travel to your arms and legs, making the condition a real burden in your daily life.

The symptoms of spinal arthritis typically begin when the bones of the spine, called the vertebrae, deteriorate with age. While there is no cure for arthritis, it can often be controlled with medication, physical therapy, and other mild treatments. If these do not ease the pain and discomfort, open back surgery might be recommended, or a patient may be told that nothing else can be done for their spinal arthritis.

If you have come to a crossroads and you’re not sure whether to risk open back surgery or give up altogether, contact Laser Spine Institute about our minimally invasive laser back surgery for spinal arthritis. Laser Spine Institute offers a gentle 5 Day Process:

  • Day One - New patient evaluation, complete physical, MRI and/or X-rays, EKG, and lab work
  • Day Two - MRI discussion with the laser surgeon and diagnostic injections (if ordered)
  • Day Three - Anesthesia discussion, and then the outpatient laser surgery is performed
  • Day Four - A post-operative visit and physical therapy
  • Day Five - Physical therapy and release from LSI

With an incision typically measuring less than an inch, laser spine surgery does not require a long hospital stay or recovery. And, since LSI performs more laser spine surgeries per month than any facility in the world, you can look forward to exceptional medical care from our caring, compassionate staff.

Please contact Laser Spine Institute today to receive a free MRI or CT scan review. Our gentle procedures might be just what you need to get your life back from the grip of spinal arthritis.
