Congenital Spinal Stenosis May be Treated at Laser Spine Institute

Congenital Spinal Stenosis May be Treated at Laser Spine Institute


Being diagnosed with congenital spinal stenosis can feel like a life sentence of back pain, but it doesn’t have to. At Laser Spine Institute, we may be able to widen the spinal canal using one of our innovative laser-assisted procedures. And, because we use endoscopic techniques, our treatments are easier on the body than traditional open-back surgeries. Endoscopy uses a narrow tube inserted through a tiny incision to access the stenosis site, so no muscle it cut or torn. When the tube reaches the stenosis, small, nimble tools are used to perform the surgery, further minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. Those advances result in a quicker recovery time than traditional surgery, and less chance of developing scar tissue that leads to future back pain.

There are other benefits to our congenital spinal stenosis treatment too, including:

  • No hospitalization
  • No general anesthesia
  • No need for spinal fusion
  • A lower risk for infection than traditional surgery
  • Generally less pain than traditional surgery

Of course, the greatest benefit of our procedure is its effectiveness. More than 85% of our clients say they have a better quality of life within 3 months of surgery, and some even report a reduction in symptoms before they are off the operating table.

If you suffer with congenital spinal stenosis and you’d like to learn more about treatment at Laser Spine Institute, contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan to determine if you are a good candidate for one of our procedures.
