Find The Most Reliable Laser Back Surgery of NY

Pain is the single most common medical complaint in the United States. Back pain is an especially common manifestation of pain. Most back pain is temporary, caused by issues like muscle strain. However, sometimes back pain is caused by a more serious underlying condition, which will not resolve on its own. In these cases, it may be necessary to treat the condition with either surgery, non-surgical methods, or both.

For people who suffer from chronic pain, the importance of effective treatment can't be stressed enough. Although some people think of pain as something they can "tough out," the effects on a person's quality of life and health can be dramatic. Pain can leave people unable to fully participate in their family life, social life, or work. In addition, it's possible to develop additional health issues, like insomnia, as pain continues to go untreated over a long period of time.

About Laser Back Surgery

Laser back surgery is one of the most effective, minimally invasive methods for treating common spine conditions like bulging discs. Laser back surgery is able to address issues such as displaced tissues, while avoiding many of the downsides associated with more traditional forms of back surgery.

During the procedure, small incisions are made at the level of the spine where the condition is located. Through these incisions, a laser probe, a camera, and/or tools are inserted. This allows the doctor to treat the spine condition without opening up the spine.

The majority of common spine conditions can be treated using laser back surgery; however, more serious spine conditions, such as spinal tumors, do still need to be treated with traditional surgery. In addition, although surgery is an effective form of treatment, it is rarely the first option. Even the most minimally invasive surgery is still surgery, and comes with risks and downtime. Therefore, doctors generally prefer to use non-invasive methods whenever possible.
