The traditional surgery procedure of the back has been around for years now – it involves invasive surgery with a long time to recovery. Then came the minimally invasive spine surgery which involves incisions but much smaller and with the use of specialized equipment that enables the surgeon to reach the right place during surgery. The recovery rate is faster in this case. Laser treatment for back pain is invasive but to a much lesser degree as compared to minimally invasive spine surgery.

Why choose laser treatment for back surgery?

One of the biggest advantages of this procedure vis-à-vis the others is that the recovery time is really fast and the surgery does not require any elaborate stay of the patient in the hospital. The truth is that it can be done in outdoor settings. The use of local anesthesia is done to carry out the process. Most people are able to get back to their routine life much faster – however, some do take a bit longer time. 

When compared to a traditional procedure, this is really fast. People undergoing the traditional surgery of the back take about 2 to 3 months to get back to work. With laser surgery, patients are able to join back work within days. 

Going to the right pain consultants is vital

While the recovery rate is faster and the process itself does not take much time – it is less than minimally invasive – what is important is that patients choose to go to the best pain consultants in the city or nearby. 

Pain consultants are responsible for helping the patient manage chronic pain. When choosing the right clinic, especially for laser surgery, look for a clinic that is equipped with the best of technology and latest state-of-infrastructure and also has the best talent pool from the specialized medical fraternity. 

Advanced interventional pain consultants treat your back pain with an in-house created procedure for laser treatment for back pain that treats the pain by the use of a very focused and targeted method. The consultants do not prescribe large doses of medications to their patients – the technique used is called Low-intensity Laser Ablation or LILA where the tissues around the source of pain are not damaged by the laser. Though the process is still under the review of FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the treatment has been very successful considering that in the last 11 years, the technique has helped many people get rid of their back pain permanently without any episode of recurrence.
