Laser Spine Surgery New Jersey

Many spine conditions can now be treated with laser spine surgery, making effective treatment for chronic back pain safer, less invasive, and more widely available than ever.

Laser Spine Surgery Basics

Laser spine surgery is an alternative to traditional, open back surgery that can be used to treat many routine spine conditions, including:
  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Bone spurs
  • Arthritis
  • Other forms of spinal stenosis 
During open back surgery, a large incision is used to access the spine to remove excess disc or bone material. The surgery is performed in the hospital, and requires about a week's hospital stay and at least 4-6 weeks away from work. After the surgery, pain management and wound healing are intensive.

Laser surgery eliminates many of these risks. During laser surgery, endoscopic cameras and probes are used to access the spine; no large incision is made. Then, excess material is targeted with a laser, removing it. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, and there is no need for a hospital stay. Time away from work can be as little as a week, and patients should leave no longer feeling pain and other symptoms.
