31 million Americans suffer from chronic back pain and are being told they may need a surgical procedure at some point. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, back pain is the second most common reason that adults see a doctor.
Today’s minimally invasive endoscopic laser procedures performed in state-of-the-art facilities can help patients rediscover a pain free life. These procedures have been shown to be a successful alternative to traditional ones while reducing the pain, cost and complications typically associated with open neck and back surgery.
Usually completed in 30 to 40 minutes, these procedures allow spine surgeons to diagnose and treat multiple causes of chronic neck and back pain in just one outpatient procedure significantly reducing the need for any additional procedures.
