Osteoarthritis of the Spine Relief at Laser Spine Institute
Like all forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis of the spine is an incurable condition that can be painful to the point of being debilitating. Fortunately, there are treatments available that can make life more bearable, even for people suffering with advanced cases of osteoarthritis. We offer several treatments at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) that are ideal for many patients who have tried more conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication with no success. Each of LSI’s procedures removes swollen tissue created by the arthritis, which leads to nerve decompression, and ultimately, less pain. All of our procedures are also performed using endoscopic techniques as well, which are much gentler on the body than traditional open-back surgeries.
Some of the benefits of our procedures include:
- No hospitalization. All of our procedures take place in an outpatient surgical center.
- No general anesthesia. We use only local anesthesia and deep IV sedation.
- No large incision. The incision we use is only about one centimeter long.
- No cutting through muscle. We gently push muscle aside, which allows for a quicker recovery and less scar tissue than traditional surgery.
- Extremely low risk of infection. Because our procedures don’t take place in a hospital and the incision is so small, infection is very uncommon.
- More
The greatest benefit of our procedures is the results. More than 85% of our patients report an increased quality of life within three months of their treatment, and some even report feeling better the same day.
