Many Sciatica Sufferers Can Reduce Their Painful Symptoms with Laser Surgery
At Laser Spine Institute, we understand how debilitating sciatica can be. In the worst cases, pain in the buttocks and leg can leave you flat on your back - unable to work, enjoy your friends and family, or perhaps even move. Those with mild cases of sciatica are plagued by numbness, tingling, and/or burning throughout the day, which can inhibit many of their favorite activities. If you suffer from sciatica, you’ve likely visited your doctor wracked with pain, only to be told that major open back surgery is the sole solution. But with LSI’s help, there is a good chance you can return to a life free of sciatica pain - without hospitalization - thanks to our breakthrough, outpatient treatment that has helped so many people like you. With sciatica patients, our surgeons use a laser to remove the herniated disc, bone spur, or other material pinching the sciatic nerve where it exits the spinal canal. This minimally invasive laser procedure requires only local anesthetic, so you’ll remain awake and comfortable during the process, and you’ll walk out the door the same day.
You may be a candidate for laser spine surgery if:
- You’re looking for alternatives to invasive open-back surgery, which requires large incisions and general anesthesia.
- Your doctor has said there are no treatments for your sciatica, and you’d like a second opinion.
- You want to limit the complications associated with back surgery, including dangerous infections.
- You’re interested in a gentle, minimally invasive treatment with a historically high rate of success in eliminating sciatica.
Because our procedure doesn’t involve general anesthesia, large incisions, hospitalization, or the increased complications associated with traditional open back procedures, laser spine surgery is a viable option for a wide range of people for whom major surgery would be unsafe. That means we can very likely help you say goodbye to sciatica.
