Arthritis of the Spine Pain Might Be Better Managed with Laser Spine Surgery

Pain from arthritis of the spine can often be quelled with over-the-counter medications in its early stages, and if you’re lucky, it’ll never get worse. But for some, spinal arthritis pain gradually increases until range of motion is reduced and physical activities like tennis, golf, or even light walking become unbearable. If you’ve experienced a debilitating increase in spinal arthritis pain, your doctor may have told you about surgeries that can help. The most common is spinal fusion, which permanently binds the vertebrae where pain is occurring. While this procedure is often successful at reducing the bone-on-bone grind that causes arthritis pain, the resulting immobility can put stress on a different part of your spine, and new aches and pains may crop up. But thanks to the innovative methods used at Laser Spine Institute, you don’t have to risk the potential consequences of spinal fusion or the complications that accompany all major surgeries. 

The benefits of laser surgery for arthritis of the spine include:

• No risk of shifting arthritis pain to another part of the back the way spinal fusion might.
• Reduced risk of infection. Only a tiny incision is needed for laser spine surgery, so there is a smaller chance of infection. Laser spine surgeries also take place in our private facilities where the risk of infection, 0.1%, is much lower than the national hospital average of 4 percent.
• No risk of complications associated with general anesthesia. Negative side effects from anesthesia are uncommon, but they can occur in people with compromised health like the elderly.  Those side effects include allergic reaction, aspiration, changes in blood pressure, heart rate and/or rhythm, heart attack, and stroke.
• A faster, less painful recovery. The small incision made by laser surgeons damages less tissue, so it causes less discomfort and heals quickly.
• Immediate results. Many of our patients report reduced pain while they are still on the operating table.

In addition to these outstanding medical benefits, laser spine surgery offers you something even more important: the opportunity to get back to the life you loved. In as little as two weeks, you could be back to your normal activities.
