Laser surgery, which uses light beams to create incisions instead of surgical instruments, is often a good choice for chronic pain cases where fusion (the surgical joining of two or more segments of bones) is not the recommended treatment. The skin and muscle tissues need to be moved away from the spine to expose the problem areas when regular spinal surgery is performed. However, laser surgery eliminates the need for incisions and the need to manipulate or move surrounding tissue.

Our team of spinal specialists will carefully assess your health condition to determine whether minimal laser spine surgery is the right treatment for you. At NJSO, our doctors always start with conservative treatment options before we recommend surgery. If conservative treatment plans don’t work, then we use minimally invasive spine surgery to ease your pain and help you get back to the life you once enjoyed.
Laser spine surgery is an option if conservative methods, like physical therapy and steroid injections, have failed to treat a long list of spinal conditions. Laser surgery can help with many spinal conditions, including spinal and foraminal stenosis, sciatica, facet joint disease, bulging or herniated discs, pinched nerves and scar tissue formation. In the neck, laser surgery can be used to help with conditions like bulging or torn cervical discs, herniated discs and brachial neuritis.
