Why Should Spinal Stenosis Patients Consider LSI?
The symptoms of spinal stenosis can greatly interfere with your ability to function - preventing you from visiting with friends and family, shopping, exercising, or even getting out of bed. When this occurs, it may be time to consider surgery.
Your doctor may have recommended open back surgery for your spinal stenosis, but this invasive option can leave you with a painful recovery lasting weeks or months. During your recovery from open back surgery, you will likely need regular physical therapy, and your pain may continue for months. Open back surgery also comes with its share of downsides including the use of general anesthesia, scarring, longer hospital stays, higher infection rates, etc.
When it appears that surgery is your only option for spinal stenosis, you should contact Laser Spine Institute to learn about our gentle, minimally invasive procedures. LSI performs more of these procedures than any other spine surgery center in the world. Other reasons to consider LSI include:
- Our laser surgery takes about 45 minutes to an hour and involves tiny incisions measuring about 1-3 inches.
- We can complete our procedures with local anesthesia, so you will be awake during the process and able to take a walk within a few hours.
- More than 80% of LSI’s patients report improvement in the quality of their lives within 3 months.
