About Laser Spine Surgery
Laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive spine procedure that uses advanced technology to treat various conditions of the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other sources of chronic back and neck pain. This innovative approach offers a less invasive alternative to traditional spinal surgeries, often resulting in faster recovery times and reduced pain and discomfort.
Key Benefits of Laser Spine Surgery:
- Minimally Invasive: Small incision, minimal scarring, and reduced tissue damage to surrounding areas.
- Reduced Recovery Time: Patients can often return to their daily activities more quickly than traditional surgery, allowing them to get back to living with less pain.
- Precision: The laser allows for the precise removal of damaged tissue, reducing the likelihood of affecting surrounding healthy tissue.
- Effective Pain Relief: This surgery is designed to relieve pressure on the nerves in the spine, which can significantly reduce or eliminate chronic pain in the back, neck, and legs.
- Cost: Covered by Insurance and Medicare
Laser spine surgery is effective for treating conditions such as:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Sciatica
- Pinched Nerves
- Radiating Pain
- Lower Back Pain
The Procedure:
- Diagnosis and Evaluation- Before surgery our expert providers will perform a thorough evaluation, which may include imaging studies like MRI or CT scans.
- Preparation - On the day of your surgery, you’ll be guided through the preparation process by our compassionate medical team. Most laser spine surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day.
- Surgery -During the procedure, a small incision is made near the affected area of the spine. A laser fiber is then inserted through this incision to precisely remove or reshape the damaged tissue relieving pressure on the spinal nerves.
- Recovery-After surgery, you’ll be monitored for a short time before being discharged to recover at home. Most patients experience significant pain relief within days of the procedure.
What to Expect After the Surgery
Is Laser Spine Surgery Right for You?

- Follow-up Care: We will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is on track and to address any concerns.
While laser spine surgery offers many benefits, it’s important to know that not every patient is a candidate.
Your eligibility will depend on the specific cause of your pain and your overall health. Our providers will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
