Laser surgery is one of the most effective treatments available for back pain. It is extremely precise, meaning that the majority of patients experience the pain relief they need. In addition, there is a low risk of side effects and a short recovery time, giving it an edge over more traditional forms of surgery. Laser surgery is on the cutting-edge of back pain treatment.
The Procedure
A wide range of back conditions can be treated using laser surgery, including:
During lase surgery, two small incisions about the size of a needle are made in the appropriate part of the back. Through one incision, a small camera is inserted. This allows the surgeon to see the affected area in real-time as he works on it. Through the other incision, a laser probe is inserted. The probe is used to remove precise amounts of disc or bone tissue, thus relieving pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. In addition, small tools can be inserted as needed to perform supporting procedures.
