Osteoarthritis of the Spine Sufferers May Find Relief at Laser Spine Institute

Osteoarthritis of the spine can be simply defined as a deterioration of vertebral joint cartilage that leads to pain. The pain occurs because as the cartilage wears away, the exposed bone of the joints rubs together. Instead of the smooth movement allowed by the cartilage, there is friction, irritation and swelling. It’s very similar to arthritis that occurs in other body parts, but because it occurs in the back, which is used in nearly every movement we make, it may be felt more often. Unfortunately, there is no cure for osteoarthritis of the spine, but there are a number of ways to lessen the pain associated with symptoms.

These include:

• Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications
• Special exercises and stretches
• Physical therapy
• Spinal steroid injections

If none of those treatments or their alternatives effectively ease your pain, surgery may be suggested as a last resort. It can be used to remove bone and other tissue that has swollen and is compressing nearby nerve tissue. At Laser Spine Institute (LSI) we offer a variety of procedures that meet that end. And because they are performed using endoscopic techniques they are gentle to the body and come with a lower risk of infection.

If you’d like more information about treating your osteoarthritis of the spine at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) contact us today. We can review your MRI or CT scan to let you know if you are good candidate for any of our procedures.
