How To Decide if Laser Neck Surgery is Right for You

The days where patients went into neck surgery with the understanding that it must by nature by expensive, risky, and invasive are over. Laser neck surgery provides a minimally invasive alternative to treat common neck conditions without opening up the neck or creating unnecessary risks, thus bringing better outcomes for patients.

Who is a Candidate?

As you consider the potential benefits and downsides of laser surgery for your neck condition, it's important to start off with a basic understanding of who may and may not be a candidate for the procedure. Generally, even minimally invasive surgeries are used as a last resort.

If you have a common spine condition such as a herniated disc that has not responded to conservative treatments, then you might be a candidate. In addition, people whose symptoms are severe or progressive are often candidates for laser neck surgery. At the same time, laser surgery is often accompanied by conservative methods like physical therapy both before and after the surgery is performed.

Pros and Cons


As with any procedure, there are a number of benefits as well as a few risks:
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Highly effective at treating neck conditions
  • Low, but still existent, risk of side effects
  • Short, but still existent, recovery period
  • Potential to return to a pain-free life
The Bottom Line

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not laser neck surgery is right for you must be made in conjunction with a doctor. Your doctor can determine whether you are a candidate for this type of treatment, and then walk you through the process of deciding whether it is a treatment option you would like to pursue.
