Lower Back Pain Surgery With a Quicker Recovery at LSI

Lower Back Pain Surgery With a Quicker Recovery at LSI

For decades, undergoing surgery for the lower back has meant missing work and other activities for many weeks and even months while the body recuperates. Healing takes some time because traditional back surgery is performed using large incisions that cut through skin, muscles and connective tissues that must regrow and repair. And after waiting a long time for a complete recovery, patients may find that their back pain isn’t gone or that new pain has developed in a different spot, often a result of scar tissue build up or displaced pressure caused by spinal fusion. Fortunately, there’s a new type of lower back pain surgery that is more effective and has a much quicker recovery process: endoscopic back surgery at Laser Spine Institute. We use it to treat several conditions that cause lower back pain including herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis.

It provides a quicker recovery by:

  • Utilizing only one small incision.
  • Pushing muscles to the side rather than cutting or tearing them.
  • Reducing the risk of infection and other complications that can draw out the healing process.
  • Using precision tools to treat the cause of lower back pain without damaging nearby tissue.

After returning home it takes our patients about two weeks to return to their normal activities. And unlike traditional back surgery, which is successful about 60 percent of the time, laser spine surgery reduces symptoms for more than 85% of patients.  Some of those patients even report feeling a reduction in pain while they are still on the operating table.

If this sounds like the type of lower back pain surgery you’ve been searching for, contact Laser Spine Institute today.  We’ll review your MRI or CT scan free of charge to determine whether or not you’re a good candidate for our procedure.
