Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment: Is Laser Surgery the Best Option for You?

Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment: Is Laser Surgery the Best Option for You?

The symptoms of degenerative disc disease can occur anywhere in your spinal column, resulting in pain that radiates into your hips, legs, and feet or into your neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. At first, the discomfort may be an occasional irritation to you, or over time the condition may turn into something so serious that you are in constant, throbbing pain.

Laser Spine Institute wants to address the problems you are experiencing with degenerative disc disease. Whether you are at the beginning stages of the condition or you have lived with it for years, we offer minimally invasive outpatient procedures that offer a fast, safe way to treat spinal degeneration.

The laser spine surgery procedures performed at LSI have provided relief for thousands of patients all over the world. Our patients chose LSI to treat their spinal problem because, unlike open-back surgery, our laser spine surgery:

  • Requires a small incision causing little disruption to surrounding muscle and tissue
  • Carries a lower rate of infection - 0.1 percent - than the average national hospital infection rate of 4%
  • Often has a recuperation time of less than two weeks
  • Has improved the quality of life for more than 80% of our patients in less than three months
  • Is performed under local anesthetic in conjunction with IV sedation so that our patients are awake, comfortable, and able to speak to the surgeon during the procedure
  • Allows our patients to come in, have surgery, and walk out within hours

Instead of living with the limits that degenerative disc disease puts on your life and your happiness, consider the possibility of living a life without back pain thanks to laser spine surgery. If you would like more information, please contact us and we will give you a free MRI and CT scan review. At that time we also will be happy to answer your questions about our outpatient procedures.
