Laser Surgery Spinal Stenosis NYC

Spinal stenosis is a term that refers simply to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can cause compression of the nerves and spinal cord. The term encompasses a wide range of spine conditions, both common and rare, including:
  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylosis
  • Spinal arthritis
  • Bone spurs
  • Spinal tumors
  • Vertebral fractures
These conditions vary dramatically in terms of their severity, with some patients experiencing no symptoms at all and others having severe, progressive symptoms that put them at risk for paralysis. The majority of people experience symptoms between these two extremes.

The appropriate course of treatment for spinal stenosis depends on its cause. Often, conservative treatments are sufficient to relieve symptoms, allowing patients to avoid the expense, downtime, and risks associated with surgery. If surgery is necessary, many patients can benefit from laser spine surgery. No surgery is without downtime and risks, but those associated with laser surgery are much lower than those associated with traditional spine surgery.

Although laser spine surgery has been proven to be effective for the treatment of spinal stenosis and other common spine conditions, a relatively small number of spine surgeons have adopted the procedure. This is not because of the efficacy of the procedure. Rather, laser surgery is a highly technical endeavor that requires specialized training, which few doctors can provide.

Only a doctor can tell you whether or not laser spine surgery is right for your spinal stenosis. The answer will depend on your medical history and the cause of your stenosis. As he evaluates you, the doctor will look at your medical record, physical examination, and the results of any diagnostic testing in order to make a decision.
