Pain from Bone Spurs in Your Neck May Be Treated More Quickly with Laser Surgery than Conventional Methods
Bone spurs in the neck can go completely unnoticed for months or even years, but if they begin rubbing up against nearby nerves, the pain can be tremendous. The pain can spread to your arms and legs, making you feel weak and numb, and for some, the all-over pain becomes debilitating. The treatment your doctor may have suggested might not sound much better. It likely requires major surgery, a large incision in the neck and/or back, and a lengthy recovery. Even undergoing all that doesn’t ensure a pain-free neck, as the success rate for that surgery is only about 50%. Add to that the risk of complications like infection, and no one can blame you for choosing to suffer with the bone spurs in your neck rather than undergo open-back surgery and months of recuperation. But despite what doctors have told you, there is another option you can consider: laser spine surgery from Laser Spine Institute. This surgery has a very high success rate, requires only a small incision, and is done with local anesthesia with IV sedation. The result is a quicker recovery with a much lower risk of complications and a higher potential for relief.
From consultation to discharge, the LSI process takes 5 days:
- Day 1: A complete physical is conducted at one of our facilities along with lab work, an EKG, and an MRI or X-Ray if needed.
- Day 2: You and your LSI surgeon discuss their findings from your MRI and surgical options.
- Day 3: Your surgery day starts with a consultation with an anesthesiologist. The surgery, which normally takes about 1 hour, is performed, and after a short recovery you’re free to your hotel room.
- Day 4: A physical therapist will evaluate your post operative needs and determines a physical therapy plan, tailored to your specific needs. The therapy is started.
- Day 5: Your incision wound is examined, and a progress check is conducted. Your last physical therapy session takes place, and you are discharged.
Many patients are back to their normal activities in as little as two weeks, and more than 80% report an improved quality of life within three months.
