EDISCSCULPTFor decades, the only surgical treatment for spine conditions was open back surgery, which involves opening up the spine and using a scalpel and other traditional tools to address issues such as compression of the spinal cord. While worthwhile for patients who needed it, this procedure had a relatively high risk of some side effects and a long, strenuous recovery period.
With the advent of lazer technology, all this changed. Instead of needing to create a large incision on the spine, doctors can just insert a laser and a camera in order to see and treat the affected area. This creates better outcomes for patients. No hospital stay is necessary, and the recovery time is much shorter. Patients experience an immediate relief from symptoms, and many patients can return to work in as little as a week after surgery.
Am I a Candidate?
Lazer surgery can be a life-changing procedure for those who need it. However, not everyone with chronic back pain needs surgical treatment. Conversely, not everyone who needs back surgery can be treated with lazer back surgery. While lazer surgery is minimally invasive, it still carries more risks and costs than treating a condition without surgery.
Only a doctor can tell you what the right course of treatment is for your back pain. In general, candidates for lazer back surgery have chronic back pain that has not responded to conservative treatments, or that is getting progressively worse. Most common back conditions can be treated with lazer surgery, but certain rare and serious conditions must be treated with more major procedures. Kyphosis and herniated discs are two examples of conditions that require more specialized and invasive surgery.
