Back Surgery - Traditional Open Procedures Aren’t Your Only Option
If you’re suffering from a herniated disc, bulging disc, bone spur, pinched nerve, spinal stenosis, or another spinal condition and have been told by your doctor that back surgery is your only option for relief, then you should know there is a successful alternative procedure to traditional open back and neck surgery: minimally invasive, endoscopic procedures from Laser Spine Institute.
Laser Spine Institute’s advanced endoscopic procedures provide a number of benefits over traditional surgical techniques, including:
- Less trauma to the body - Endoscopic procedures only require a small incision, and there is minimal impact on muscle. This is unlike traditional surgery, which requires a large incision and involves cutting through muscle to access the spine.
- Shorter recovery time - Most Laser Spine Institute patients are back to normal activity in just a few weeks, as opposed to six months or more with open back and neck surgery.
- Reduced chance of infection - Because the incision is smaller and the procedure is performed in an outpatient setting rather than a hospital, there is a significantly lower chance of infection.
- High success rate - More than 87% of Laser Spine Institute patients say that their quality of life has increased in the weeks following their surgery.
- Outpatient procedure - Laser Spine Institute’s procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, so you can rest and recover in the comfort of your home or hotel room rather than having to stay in the hospital.
