Spinal Fusion Alternative that Can Have You Back to a Normal Life in Less than a Week
One of the main concerns you may have about spinal fusion surgery is the long recovery time. After checking into the hospital for 2-12 hours of spinal fusion surgery, your recovery will likely be a few days of hospitalization followed by months of healing time as your vertebrae adjust to their newly fused positions. Even after your incision and bones heal, you still may not experience relief from your original back pain, since spinal fusion has less than a 50% success rate.
Laser Spine Institute offers gentle, minimally invasive, and successful alternatives to spinal fusion surgery. Perhaps best of all, our endoscopic, outpatient treatments can be completed in about 45 minutes and have you on your feet within about an hour after surgery. As a matter of fact, we have streamlined the entire process to five days, which means you can receive a full examination, diagnosis, laser spine surgery, and physical therapy in less than a week.
If you would like to say goodbye to your debilitating back disorder and hello to a new life, read on to learn more about the 5-Day Process offered by Laser Spine Institute:
- Day One—You will receive a complete physical and lab work will be performed. X-rays and/or MRI will be conducted as needed. This will help our doctors clear you for surgery and arrive at the most current diagnosis of your back condition(s).
- Day Two—You will discuss your diagnosis with an LSI surgeon and also will learn about the procedures your surgeon recommends for you.
- Day Three—This is surgery day. Your outpatient surgery will begin after you meet with your LSI nurse, anesthesiologist, and surgeon.
- Day Four—You will receive personalized physical therapy recommendations and also have a post-operative visit.
- Day Five—This will be your second day of physical therapy and then you’re ready to go home.
Compared to the risks and long, painful recovery of spinal fusion surgery, LSI’s revolutionary 5-day process allows you to quickly return to normal activities—plus try some new pastimes that your back pain has prevented you from enjoying. And, with more than 85% of LSI’s patients reporting pain relief within 3 months, our laser-assisted procedures are significantly more successful than spinal fusion.
