Painful Bone Spurs in the Neck May Be Best Treated with Laser Surgery

If you’re living with bone spurs in the neck, then they probably cause you immense pain on a daily basis. The ache radiating from your neck and into your limbs limits your movement and makes even the simplest task hard. Bending over to peek in the mailbox, turning to wave at your neighbor, even sleeping on your side may be tremendously uncomfortable. But while this pain is debilitating, doctors can only offer you temporary relief with anti-inflammatory medication, muscle relaxers, pain relievers, or cortisone shots, and the side effects of those medicines can be uncomfortable themselves. If you seek permanent relief, the surgery your doctor may have described might not sound like a great option either. Generally, bone spurs in the neck are surgically treated through a large incision in the skin. The surgery requires general anesthesia and months of recuperation, and it is only about 50% effective. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer in silence or risk it all with a big surgery. Laser Spine Institute offers minimally invasive procedures with a much higher success rate and faster recovery.

Here are some other reasons laser surgery may be a more preferable solution for your condition:

It has a reduced risk of infection. Only a tiny incision is needed for laser spine surgery, so there is less of a vulnerable area on your body. Laser spine surgeries also take place in our private facilities, not in hospitals where the average infection rate is significantly higher.
No general anesthesia is used. Only local anesthesia and IV sedation are needed to keep patients comfortable. They remain awake for the entire surgery.
You can feel immediate results. Many of our patients report reduced pain while they are still on the operating table.

If you suffer from painful bone spurs, and conventional treatments haven’t worked, contact us today.

We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free.
