EDISCSCULPTIt's often the case that common spine conditions like herniated discs and bone spurs can be treated without resorting to surgery, especially if the condition occurs in the lower spine, which is where the majority of spine issues develop. When a spine conditions develops in the neck, however, it has the potential to be more serious, since the spinal cord runs through the neck and the highest number of nerves exist in that area of the spine.
Although most neck conditions do not cause severe problems, when the condition is severe or progressive it could eventually cause muscle weakness or even paralysis in addition to pain. In these cases, laser neck surgery is often a strong choice for treatment.

The procedure is minimally invasive, unlike traditional spine surgery, which is much more invasive and associated with a much longer recovery period. The procedure is delicate and requires a great deal of expertise to execute correctly, but the basic concept is simple enough to understand:
- The physician places the patient under local anesthesia
- Two or more small incisions are made on the spine
- Through one of the incisions, the doctor inserts an endoscopic camera, which allows him to see the inside of the spine
- Through the other incision, the doctor inserts a laser probe
- The laser is used to target and remove tissue that is displaced or overgrown, such as bone spurs or the herniated portion of a disc
- If necessary, a small tool can be inserted to perform tasks that can't be done with the laser
- The incisions are sutured, and patients return home the same day
