Medically Reviewed by NJ Spine & Orthopedic on May 6, 2024

With laser spine surgery, you can say goodbye to the constant pain, numbness, and tingling that sciatica brings. Unlike traditional surgery, which can be invasive and require a long recovery time, laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive alternative that allows for quicker healing and less time spent off your feet.

The spine surgeons at NJ Spine & Orthopedic have years of experience performing laser spine surgery on patients with sciatica. Our experienced surgeons will evaluate your condition, discuss your treatment options, and create a customized plan to address your specific needs.


Benefits of Treating Sciatica with Laser Spine Surgery

Laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced technology to target and treat the source of your sciatic pain. By using a small laser to precisely and painlessly remove damaged tissue or bone that may be pressing on your sciatic nerve, this procedure can offer significant relief with faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.

The benefits of treating sciatica with laser spine surgery are significant, offering patients a minimally invasive approach to addressing back pain and discomfort. Your spine surgeon will recommend laser spine surgery if they believe it is a good fit for your next step in treatment.

Precision

One benefit of laser spine surgery for sciatica is its precision. The laser allows your surgeon to target the exact location of the problem without affecting surrounding healthy tissue. This means less trauma to your body, less pain during and after the procedure, and a quicker return to your daily activities. In fact, many patients are able to go home the same day as their surgery and resume normal activities within a few weeks.

Minimally Invasive

Laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning smaller incisions are made compared to traditional open surgery. This results in less damage to surrounding tissues and muscles, leading to a quicker recovery time and reduced risk of complications.

Reduced Risk of Complications

Another advantage of laser spine surgery is the reduced risk of complications. Because it is minimally invasive, there is less chance of infection, blood loss, or other issues commonly associated with traditional open surgery. This can provide peace of mind knowing that you are receiving a safe and effective treatment for your sciatic pain.

Improved Outcomes

Laser spine surgery has been shown to have high success rates in treating sciatica and other spinal conditions. Patients may experience long-lasting pain relief and improved function following the procedure. As a result, most people who need surgery for sciatica in the future may opt for minimally invasive laser surgery.

Determining if laser spine surgery is the right option for your needs depends on what your symptoms are and what your doctor recommends. Our team at NJ Spine & Orthopedic will work with you to determine the best course forward for your needs.
