Spinal Stenosis Treatments with Laser Surgery Versus Open-Back Surgery

Spinal Stenosis Treatments with Laser Surgery Versus Open-Back Surgery

After trying physical therapy, pain relievers, chiropractic care, and a back brace for your spinal stenosis, your doctor may explain that the only option left is open-back surgery. You, however, might not like the idea of checking into a hospital for an invasive procedure that requires general anesthesia, a large incision, a lengthy recovery time, and possible complications.

Laser Spine Institute offers a safer, gentler alternative to hospitalization and open back surgery for spinal stenosis. Our minimally invasive laser spine surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure and can have you on your feet the same day. Other benefits of our laser spine surgery include:

  • No general anesthesia is used; you are awake and comfortable during our procedure because we use a local anesthesia and deep IV sedation.
  • We make a only tiny incision to insert our instruments, which then remove or shrink the disc or bone spur that is pressing against your nerve and causing the symptoms of your spinal stenosis.
  • Some patients feel immediate relief during the procedure.
  • Laser surgery typically takes about an hour.
  • Recuperation typically takes less than 2 weeks.
  • Our infection rate is under 0.1% while the national hospital average is 4%.
  • We have performed many thousands of these procedures, and more than 80% of our patients say their quality of life has improved within 3 months.
  • Laser spine surgery has a higher success rate than open back surgery.

If you have been told that you need surgery for your spinal stenosis - or if you have been told that nothing can be done to ease your symptoms - Laser Spine Institute would like to hear from you. You deserve to know about the options that can help you get your life back as soon as possible.
