Get Laser Spine Surgery in NYC

If you have chronic back pain, choosing the best treatment, administered by the best doctor, is key. Read on to learn whether you are a candidate for laser spine surgery, and to find treatment in your area.

Laser Spine Surgery Treatments

Laser spine surgery can be used to treat a number of common back conditions. The procedure is minimally invasive, while still allowing surgeons to remove excess tissue pressing against the nerve roots or spinal cord. When conservative treatments fail, the procedure can be used to treat:

• Herniated discs, which occur when a disc ruptures, pressing against the nerves
• Degenerative disc disease
  
• Spinal arthritis, the degeneration or inflammation of spinal joints
• Spinal stenosis, which encompasses all other conditions that can cause a narrowing of the spinal canal, including trauma
  

For laser spine surgery, there is a relatively short recovery time as compared to traditional surgery - in fact, patients can return home the same day. This is made possible by the use of endoscopic cameras and laser technology, which replaces the scalpel in traditional surgery. With no need for a large incision, patients recovery quickly, and can return to work within a week. There is also a lower risk of certain side effects, including infection and excessive bleeding.
