Who is a Candidate?
Before you embark on the process of finding the right laser spine surgeon for you, it's important to have some idea of whether or not you are a good candidate for this type of treatment. You may be a good candidate for laser spine surgery if you:
- Have a common spine condition like bone spurs or a herniated disc
- Have tried conservative treatments to no avail
- Have symptoms that are severe, progressive, or relentless
On the other hand, some conditions like spinal tumors do not respond to laser spine surgery, and will require traditional spine surgery or other treatments. Your doctor will perform a full physical examination, diagnostic testing, and medical history to determine whether or not laser spine surgery is the right course of treatment for you.
