Bone Spur Surgery at Laser Spine Institute

Bone Spur Surgery at Laser Spine Institute

When you are considering bone spur surgery, you’re likely looking for a treatment that will do away with your pain, but is also safe. A recovery that doesn’t last a lifetime or keep you in constant pain would be nice too, right? You may be able to have all of these things if you choose a procedure at Laser Spine institute (LSI). We use an endoscopic method that’s able to accurately and safely treat bone spurs without damaging very much of the surrounding tissue. The result is effective treatment—more than 85% of LSI patients say the quality of their life has improved within three months of their procedure—that’s gentle to the body and relatively easy to recover from. Most of our patients are back to their normal activities quickly following a procedure at LSI. Bone spur surgery at LSI becomes even more attractive when you compare it to the alternative: traditional, open-back or neck surgery.

Here’s how they stack up:

  • Traditional surgery requires hospitalization, but LSI procedures are performed in an outpatient center.
  • Traditional surgery often uses a large, deep incision that cuts through skin and muscle, but LSI procedures only require a small incision and muscles are pushed aside gently rather than cut.
  • Traditional surgery comes with about a 4.5% risk of infection, while that risk is only about .07% at LSI.

Of course, bone spur surgery isn’t for everyone. If you haven’t had a proper diagnosis from your doctor, you’ll want to do that first, and follow the prescribed treatment plan he or she creates for you. It will likely include more conservative methods of treatment such as physical therapy and massage.

If you’d like more information about our treatment, contact LSI today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free to determine if you are a good candidate for our procedure.
