Laser Spine Institute is a leader in the advanced techniques of minimally invasive spine surgery. An alternative to traditional open back surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery is performed through a small incision and uses an endoscope - a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached. Lasers and other surgical instruments are passed through the endoscope in order to ...treat the problem area. Performed by highly trained surgeons at Laser Spine Institute, these procedures can correct chronic back and neck pain caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis, sciatica, pinched nerves and bulging discs. This outpatient procedure is performed with no general anesthesia, no hardware and no fusions, so patients can return to a normal, active lifestyle as quickly as possible.
