Spinal Stenosis Treatment at Laser Spine Institute

You’ve tried everything to relieve the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis. Prescription medication. Physical therapy. Behavior modification. Steroid injections. Perhaps you even visited a chiropractor or gave acupuncture a try. None of it worked. Your chronic neck or back pain still prevents you from functioning the way you used to before you had ever heard of spinal stenosis—a narrowing of the spinal canal. Your doctor finally has presented surgery as an option. Naturally, you’ll want to do whatever it takes to regain your life, but the idea of traditional open back surgery may be intimidating.

There are a number of traditional surgical procedures used to treat the symptoms spinal stenosis. The goal of these procedures is to relieve, or decompress, the nerve root that is irritated by the narrowing within the spinal canal. These procedures normally require the removal of a significant amount of bone and, in some cases, stabilization using spinal fusion. The procedures also require general anesthesia, a large incision, a long hospital stay and a lengthy recuperation. Any of these is reason enough to exhaust all conservative options before deciding to undergo surgery for spinal stenosis.

Before you move forward with traditional surgery, let Laser Spine Institute (LSI) provide a free analysis of your MRI or CT scan to determine whether you are a candidate for any of our minimally invasive, outpatient procedures for spinal stenosis. The award-winning surgeons at LSI use endoscopic techniques to create more space within the spinal canal and decompress impinged nerve roots.
