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:
Disc problems such as herniated and bulging discs

Choosing a laser back surgeon is a major decision. It means entrusting someone with a delicate, important procedure that involves operating on some of the body's most intricate and essential structures. A good laser back surgeon can help patients return to their normal, pain-free lives by combining expertise in the field with an ability to listen to and address each patient's issues.

There are two main ways to gauge the results of a surgery: how effective the surgery is at treating the problem, and what the risk of complications is. Laser back surgery excels in both of these regards. The procedure is effective at relieving pain and other symptoms associated with a variety of back problems, while also bringing patients a reduced risk of certain side effects.

There is a great deal of variation in how long it takes patients to heal after herniated disc surgery. First and foremost, the type of procedure performed affects the recovery time. In addition, factors like individual and the quality of post-operative care influence the rate of healing.
Type of Procedure

Every surgery has risks associated with it, and when a doctor recommends surgical treatment for a condition, it is because she believes that the benefits outweigh the risks. Surgeries that are more invasive usually have higher risks associated with them; for that reason, it's best to stick to minimally invasive surgeries when possible. Spinal fusion is an invasive surgery with a good deal of risk associated with it, which means that patients should seek minimally invasive surgery if possible. For patients who do need it, though, the procedure can have a big impact on healing.

Spinal stenosis refers to any condition that causes the spinal canal to become more narrow than it should be. In some cases, this narrowing results in unusual pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, which can cause pain, sensory issues, and muscle weakness. The exact symptoms will depend on the severity and location of the condition.
Conditions
The following conditions can all be identified as forms of stenosis:
Bulging disc - A disc becomes flatter than usual at one or more places

The recovery period for back surgery is highly dependent on the type of surgery performed. There are two major divisions of back surgery: traditional open back surgery, and laser spine surgery. While traditional surgery is still the only options for certain rare and serious conditions, the majority of spine conditions can be treated using laser spine surgery. This has numerous advantages, but one of the biggest advantages has to do with the length and ease of the recovery period.
Traditional Back Surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery has many advantages of traditional spine surgery. One of the biggest advantages is the reduced recovery time that patients enjoy. The recovery period is about 1/4 that of traditional spine surgery, and it is much more comfortable.
How it Works

Surgical treatment for herniated discs takes two main forms: traditional spine surgery, and laser back surgery. Laser back surgery is a much less invasive form of treatment, and it has a shorter and more comfortable recovery period. The amount of pain will vary based on the type of surgery used, and individual variation also plays a role.
Traditional Spine Surgery

It's a bit of a conundrum that, while back surgery is generally prescribed as a treatment for back pain, traditional spine surgery increases pain in the short-term. Fortunately, there are minimally invasive forms of back surgery available for most routine spine conditions, which make the recovery period quicker and more comfortable. Whereas traditional spine surgery required doctors to make a large incision and sometimes to perform extreme procedures such as spinal fusion, laser spine surgery involves only one or two small incisions, through which a camera and a laser are inserted.
