Cervical Laser Spine

Cervical Laser spine can correct a number of issues related to the cervical spine, including stenosis, herniated discs and bone spurs. The cervical spine consists of the seven vertebrae directly under the skull, and is what we think of as the neck region. The top vertebrae of the spine, it is different from the rest due to the presence of a small foramen, or hole, through which the vertebral artery passes through. Since all aspects of function, from movement to respiratory function are involved in the cervical spine, injury to this area can have serious consequences, like paralysis or even death. Cervical Laser Spine can alleviate severe neck pain and prevent more serious complications that could occur if left untreated.

Non-invasive Cervical Laser Spine

Cervical Laser Spine is a non-invasive approach to cervical spine surgery. Unlike traditional Open Back Surgery, which required a very large incision and exposing of the spinal operative site , Laser Spine does not involve the opening of the back at all. Instead an Endoscope is used to guide the surgeon through the surgery with the patients back still closed. The surgeon makes a few very small incisions into the back and the Endoscope is threaded through to the operative site, where its attached camera will enable the surgeon to see by watching a monitor. There is no cutting of muscle and therefore far less bleeding during surgery and scarring post-operative. Cervical Laser Spine is also done with a combination of Local anesthetic and “twilight” intravenous sedation which carries far less risk than Open Back's use of General anesthesia.

Cervical Laser Spine Recovery

Recovery from Cervical Laser Spine is also much less involved than with Open Back. With minimal disruption to a patient's body during the procedure, there is far less recovery time necessary for a patient to heal. In fact, patients generally feel pain alleviation immediately, as their spinal conditions caused them a great deal of pain, leading them to seek surgical intervention in the first place. With Open Back, one can expect a lengthy hospital stay followed by weeks to months of therapy and up to a year for full recovery. Cervical Laser Spine lets a patient return to their life much more quickly.

Cervical Laser & Mobility

With Cervical Laser Spine a patient can regain pain-free mobility to their neck, shoulders and upper back. There is no need to suffer, when there is a minimally invasive alternative to Open Back Surgery . Cervical Laser Spine could be a viable option for you!
