Spinal Disc Decompression Can Relieve Back and Neck Pain

Spinal disc decompression creates more room in the spinal canal for the spinal cord and associated nerves by removing bone or other tissue that presses on nerves and causes pain. It can be accomplished through a variety of procedures used to treat specific causes of spinal compression. These procedures have been performed for decades using traditional open-back surgery methods, and while they should work in theory, they are only about 60% effective in that context, and they come with many risks. But there’s good news. When endoscopic techniques are used to perform spinal disc decompression at the Laser Spine Institute, they are more than 85% effective in reducing pain. Additionally, the risk of side effects like infection, excessive scar tissue, and a return to back pain is greatly reduced. This is all possible thanks to the endoscopic techniques perfected at our facility in Tampa, FL.

Here’s how spinal decompression works at LSI disc:

• The cause of spinal compression and back pain is identified.
• The patient is sedated with IV fluids, and the affected area of the back is treated with local anesthesia.
• A small incision is made in the back, and a series of nesting tubes is fed into the incision, gradually pushing muscle aside and increasing the size of the tube opening. The final and largest tube is left in place.
• A small incision is made in the back, and a series of nesting tubes is fed into the incision, gradually pushing muscle aside and increasing the size of the tube opening. The final and largest tube is left in place.
• The surgery site is accessed, and small tools including a light and camera are fed to it through the tube.
• A surgeon carefully performs the spinal disc decompression procedure.
• The tools and tube are removed, and if need the small incision is closed with a stitch or two.

Patients are on their feet walking the same day as surgery, and after short stay in the recovery unit, they are released to recover at their home or hotel until they return the next day for physical therapy. Within two weeks of the surgery they’re usually back to their normal activities. For most patients, relief comes in the first three months following surgery, but some even feel it when they are still on the operating table. 

If this sounds good to you, contact us today for more information about spinal disc decompression. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI for free to determine if laser spine surgery can help you.
