Back Pain Treatment—Am I a Candidate for Gentle Outpatient Surgery at Laser Spine…

Back Pain Treatment—Am I a Candidate for Gentle Outpatient Surgery at Laser Spine Institute?

Is your back pain sharp, dull, or burning? Does it begin in your pelvic area or in your neck? Does it radiate to your legs, shoulders, and arms? In addition to pain, do you also have other sensations like tingling, numbness, and weakness in your spinal area or in other parts of your body? It’s possible that your back pain was caused by simple overuse of back muscles, and in this case, treatment may include hot compresses, medication, injections, massage, and exercise. These treatments often can provide relief within a few weeks.

On the other hand, when back pain is caused by a serious underlying condition—and pain persists for months or years—it could be time to consider laser-assisted back pain treatment at Laser Spine Institute. LSI’s gentle, minimally invasive, outpatient procedures such as facet thermal ablation, foraminotomy, laminotomy, and others have proven very successful at treating back ailments like:

  • Spinal arthritis
  • Bone spurs in the back and neck
  • Herniated discs (also known as bulging discs)
  • Facet disease
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Failed back surgery
  • Foraminal stenosis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Pinched nerve
  • Sciatica
  • More

If you have been diagnosed with any of the above conditions—or if no back pain treatment has been able to provide you with relief—please contact Laser Spine Institute to inquire about whether or not you are a candidate for laser-assisted spine surgery. We will be happy to answer your questions and offer you a free MRI or CT scan review of your case.
