Spinal Decompression Patients May Experience More Benefits with Laser Spine Surgery

The main benefit of spinal decompression surgery is its non-invasive nature. For the entire procedure the patient is fully clothed and a special padded harness is placed on his or her torso. Several cycles of traction are administered and problem areas of the back are isolated, relieving pressure. This gentle procedure takes place during 15 to 24 treatments administered in five to eight weeks. While this treatment is highly successful for some patients, it is by no means a solution for all back pain sufferers. Depending on the type of condition causing your pain and your specific case, you may not be a good candidate for spinal decompression. Luckily, there is another alternative: laser spine surgery. It’s a great procedure for many back pain sufferers who’ve already tried conservative treatments without success.

It also comes with a variety of benefits you may not experience with spinal decompression including:

Less maintenance. Spinal decompression patients may have to undergo repeated adjustments to maintain pain relief, but patients who have laser spine surgery normally experience lasting pain relief with little to no maintenance.
Total back care. Many back pain sufferers have more than one condition causing their pain and laser spine surgery can be used to treat many of them. Spinal decompression may not be the optimal treatment for some.
More convenience. Laser spine treatment takes five days from pre-operative screenings to post-operative care, with the possibility of some minimal follow-up visits to the doctor. Spinal decompression can take up to eight weeks.

While laser spine surgery does require a small incision, the risk of side effects is much lower than with traditional open-back surgery, the success rate is higher, and the recovery time is much faster.
