'back surgery'

Chronic back pain causes much more harm than just the physical sensation of pain. It can leave you unable to stay active, unmotivated to enjoy life, and even depressed. However, one simple way to not only help you maintain a healthy weight (which can ease the burden on your spine and reduce back pain), but also lift your spirits, is to share the practice of nutritious meals with friends and/or family members.

Maintaining a healthy weight to manage back pain is not always the most fun process. Your pain and other symptoms can make putting a smile on your face and being friendly with others a taxing effort. And, paying close attention to the health value of the foods you eat and taking the time to prepare a nutritious meal can seem like a mountain of a task when back pain makes you feel like you'd rather just eat something quick and then lay down to get some rest.

If you're suffering from chronic back pain and are considering the innovative procedures at Laser Spine Institute as a solution, you've likely looked into testimonials from former patients, some of which are included on our blog. Hearing about the experiences of individuals in similar situations to yours can help you decide if our minimally invasive procedures might be right for you. But what happens when one of our own employees decides to trust her Laser Spine Institute coworkers to diagnose her spine condition, perform her back surgery, and help her rediscover her life without back pain?

Gentle readers, please let me start by saying that “Laser Spine Institute — A Force of Diligence and Faith” is the untold story about people who are not just making a living but also ‘making a difference.’  This is an organization that provides employees with the opportunity to present the very best of them every day, and to help others. 

Endoscopic surgery aims to reduce tissue trauma and preserve spinal segmental motion and stability.  In this video, endoscopic spine surgery expert Michael Perry, M.D., Medical Director of Laser Spine Institute, explains the advantages of the minimally invasive— surgical techniques performed at Laser Spine Institute.   Benefits such as smaller incisions, no general anesthesia, no fusions, shorter recovery time and less blood loss are discussed.
