Lumbar Surgery at Laser Spine Institute: Why Laser Surgery Is the Preferred Treatment for Many Patients

Lumbar pain is something that must be experienced to truly understand the devastating effect it can have on a person’s life. Originating in the lower back and often traveling to the legs, lumbar pain can halt your everyday routine and lifestyle. If it gets bad enough, lumbar pain can make you a prisoner of your bed or couch, barely able to get up and take care of your own basic needs.

Once lower back pain has reached this point - and conservative treatments like medication and exercise have not provided lasting relief - lumbar surgery is the recommended next step. In the past, the only option for lumbar surgery involved open back procedures. Not only do these procedures mean a long incision, hours of general anesthesia, and the risk of infection, but they also can mean a recovery period lasting a year or more.

You may be able to avoid the risks and complications of conventional lumbar surgery by choosing one of the minimally invasive options available at Laser Spine Institute. Our thousands of patients have told us that they prefer minimally invasive laser spine surgery because:

It is an outpatient procedure
No hospitalization or general anesthesia are necessary
It does not involve fusion of the spine
It is performed in about 60 minutes and can have you on your feet within an hour after the procedure
It is very successful at treating lumbar pain as well as other back and neck problems
The recuperation time is short and infection rates are significantly lower than hospital infection rates
More than 85%of patients say they felt relief within 3 months of lumbar surgery at LSI
Some patients experience pain relief immediately, while others say they feel better in as little as two weeks

Laser-assisted lumbar surgery is the gentlest way to remove the bone and tissue problems that are pressing upon your lower back and causing your pain.
