Lower Back Pain Treatment at Laser Spine Institute is Safe and Effective

Lower Back Pain Treatment at Laser Spine Institute is Safe and Effective

Lower back pain can force you into a cautious lifestyle where you have no choice but to sit out your favorite activities. It can make anything that involves bending, lifting, or even standing or sitting for a long period of time undoable. If your back pain gets bad enough, even gentle hobbies like gardening can be off limits. So what’s the best treatment for lower back pain? It depends on the person, but if all of the conservative options (these include physical therapy, spinal decompression, stretching, hot & cold compresses, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications and pain killers, and braces) have been exhausted and surgery is being considered, LSI is a great option. We treat a variety of conditions that cause lower back pain, including herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis, using a method that has a better success rate and fewer risks than traditional open-back surgery.

Here are some of the many benefits of endoscopic back surgery at Laser Spine Institute:

  • A risk of infection much lower than that of traditional back surgery.
  • Use of a small incision and tools that cause minimal damage to the tissue surrounding the surgery site.
  • Use of only local anesthesia and IV sedation for surgery, which has fewer risks and side effects than general anesthesia.
  • An outpatient procedure that takes place in a surgery center, not a hospital.
  • A quicker recovery than traditional surgery.

More than 85% of our patients say they feel relief from their symptoms within three months of surgery, and some even report feeling better while they are still on the operating table.

If this sounds like the type of lower back pain treatment you’ve been looking for, contact LSI today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI free of charge.
