Are You a Candidate for Endoscopic Laser Spine Surgery?

For those who experience pain or numbness that persists or worsens after prescription medication and/or conservative treatment, surgery may be the best option.  Primarily, two types of surgical options are available to patients – traditional open spine surgery and minimally invasive procedures.  Traditional open spine procedures generally involve large incisions and hospitalization, in addition to a painful and extensive recovery period.  Endoscopic laser spine procedures are typically performed in an outpatient setting and utilize significantly smaller incisions, resulting in a less painful and shorter recovery period.

The field of minimally invasive spine surgery continues to grow.  Studies show that most surgeries today can be treated with some aspect of minimally invasive surgery.   However, there are certain conditions that require standard open treatment, such as high-degree scoliosis, tumors and some infections.

The best options should be individualized to the patient’s diagnosis and overall patient condition. At Laser Spine Institute, we perform minimally invasive spine surgery, after a sound pre-screening methodology that is best suited for the individual patient.  

Understanding the cause of your back or neck pain is the key to proper treatment.   Because back/neck pain is sometimes difficult to treat, a better understanding of the causes of this problem will assist patients and doctors with the correct diagnosis. Laser Spine Institute treats common back and neck problems and conditions with minimally invasive spine surgical procedures.

An authority on the benefits of endoscopic laser spine surgery, Dr. Michael Perry is the Medical Director at Laser Spine Institute.  In this video, he speaks about the MRI or CT scan review and discussion aspect of LSI's patient evaluation process.
