Spondylosis Treatment at Laser Spine Institute

Spondylosis Treatment at Laser Spine Institute

Spondylosis is sometimes used interchangeably with disc degeneration, and it describes the general wear and tear our vertebral discs experience over the course of life. Symptoms usually begin to surface in middle age and can include back or neck pain, weakness or tingling in the extremities, difficulty accessing a full range of motion, tenderness, and more.

While there is no cure for spondylosis, the symptoms can be treated with a range of options including:

  • Over-the-counter medications
  • Physical therapy
  • Chiropractic care
  • Special exercises and stretching
  • Prescription medications
  • Surgery

Fortunately for most spondylosis sufferers, one of the more conservative treatments on this list—or a combination of several—can provide relief. For those who have no luck with non-invasive strategies, surgery may be an option. And at Laser Spine Institute (LSI), the procedures we perform are minimally invasive, so there’s no hospital stay, or weeks of bed rest with recovery that you may experience following a more traditional treatment for spondylosis.

If you’d like more information about the treatment we may be able to offer you, contact LSI today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan free of charge to determine if we can help you.
