EDISCSCULPTSpinal stenosis is an encompassing term that includes a variety of spine conditions. Spinal stenosis refers to any condition where the spinal canal becomes more narrow than usual, thus causing tissue to press against the spinal cord or nerve roots. People with spinal stenosis experience pain and other neurological symptoms. This is usually caused by issues with the discs or vertebrae, such as herniated discs, arthritis, and bone spurs. More rarely, issues like tumors can cause spinal stenosis.
Most cases of spinal stenosis can be relieved by relatively non-invasive methods. Directed rest, physical therapy, and medication can generally reduce inflammation and relieve pressure on the spine, thus relieving symptoms.
In some cases, though, symptoms persist even after these treatments are used. For such patients, going to a spinal stenosis surgeon may be the solution. During surgery, the displaced tissue is removed, and therefore the pressure against the nerves is relieved.
Choosing a Surgeon
Not all spinal stenosis surgeons are created equal. Looking for a doctor with good clinical skills and bedside manner goes without saying. In addition, it's best to look for a surgeon who is dedicated to improving patient outcomes by using minimally invasive procedures.
Laser spine surgery is the most minimally invasive form of spinal stenosis surgery available. Instead of a large incision, doctors insert just a camera, a laser, and sometimes small tools. Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, patients who undergo this surgery enjoy:
