Sciatic Nerve Pain Can Often Be Relieved With Surgery at the Laser Spine Institute

When you’re living with sciatic nerve pain, even the simplest actions can seem like an excruciating chore. That’s because you could be suffering with sharp burning pains that run down the back of your legs to the soles of your feet. Even when it’s dull, it makes something simple like walking the dog or driving painful and unpleasant.

Fortunately, there is a successful way to treat the conditions that most commonly cause sciatic nerve pain—conditions like bone spurs and herniated discs. In most sciatica cases, a disc, bone spur, or other tissue presses on the sciatic nerve, causing inflammation and pain at the site. Often, the pain continues all the way down the back of the leg where the nerve travels.

Laser Spine Institute is the global leader in effective endoscopic treatments for spinal nerve pain. The treatments used by LSI are safe, highly successful, and often bring quick relief to patients, but like most surgeries, they are not meant to be the first treatment used on sciatic nerve pain.

You may be a candidate for surgery at LSI if:

Your doctor has told you there is nothing that can help your pain.
You’ve already had traditional surgery and it didn’t improve your pain, did so only temporarily, or caused additional back pain.
You’ve already tried conservative treatments like hot and cold compresses, anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and pain killers.

You’d also make a great candidate for laser spine surgery if you are uncomfortable with the risks associated with the traditional surgery used to relieve sciatic nerve pain. Those risks include infection and the build-up of scar tissue that could cause more back pain. Additionally, traditional surgery comes with a longer recovery time than laser surgery, the need for general anesthesia, hospitalization and more.

If you’d like to avoid these issues, you may be a good candidate for laser spine surgery. Contact us today for a free MRI or CT scan review.
