Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Spine Can Cause Other Back Conditions—Most Treatable at Laser Spine Institute

If you suffer with rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, you may have more to worry about than the degeneration of cartilage and bone. That’s because the deterioration of those tissues can lead other common back ailments including spondylolisthesis, bone spurs, sciatica, stenosis, and more. These conditions can compound your back pain, making even the simplest tasks, such as retrieving the mail or sitting at your desk, truly uncomfortable. And while you may be able to reduce the symptoms of your back or neck condition, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis of the spine. Fortunately, the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be managed with a variety of treatments ranging from medications to physical therapy. In severe cases, doctors may recommend surgery to relieve your symptoms. Surgery typically involves removing tissue that is causing nerve compression, or pinched nerves.

At Laser Spine Institute (LSI), we perform several procedures that decompress nerve tissue including:

• Foraminotomy
• Facet thermal ablation
• Laminotomy

While your doctor may suggest a different surgery performed in a traditional fashion, you should know that LSI’s procedures are very gentle and effective, providing more than 85% of our patients with an increased quality of life within three months of treatment. Some even feel better the same day as the procedure.

If this sounds like the type of procedure you’d be interested in for treating your rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, contact LSI today. We’ll review you MRI or CT scan today to determine if one of our procedures is right for you.
