Neck Spur Surgery Options: Why Outpatient Endoscopic Surgery Is a Better Choice

Once it has been confirmed that a bone spur in your neck is causing your neck stiffness and the pain that radiates through your shoulders and arms, you will likely be offered a range of conventional treatments such as prescription pain medication, cortisone injections, rest, and physical therapy. Whether you are concerned about the side effects of your medication - or you find that conventional treatments for neck spur symptoms are not working for you - it may be time to explore a surgical means to remove the spur that is impinging on your spinal nerves.

Open back surgery is one possibility your doctor may suggest for your neck spur, but this invasive surgery comes with risks and complications. In addition to the use of general anesthesia and the risk of infection, open back surgery can leave you even more incapacitated than the neck spur itself as your body tries to heal in the ensuing months.

An alternative to open back surgery offered by Laser Spine Institute is an outpatient procedure called endoscopic surgery. During this minimally invasive procedure, your surgeon would make a tiny incision and gently insert a series of tubes into the area of your neck spur. Through these tubes, your surgeon is able to carefully reduce the size of your spur and release your spinal nerves from painful pressure.

Other advantages of endoscopic back surgery at Laser Spine Institute include the following:

• No general anesthesia - We use local anesthesia and deep IV sedation, meaning you will be awake, speaking to the surgeon, and comfortable during the entire procedure.
• Very low risk of infection - LSI’s infection rate is 0.1%, 40 times less than the national hospital average of 4%.
• Fast recovery - Our patients are up and walking in about an hour after the surgery.
• No hospital stay - Go back to your hotel room (or back home if you live nearby) within a couple hours of your surgery.
• Success - More than 85% of our patients experience relief within 3 months, many of whom said they felt relief almost immediately.

Thanks to the innovative laser surgery procedures offered by LSI, you have alternatives to open back surgery for your neck spur symptoms. Please contact Laser Spine Institute today to learn more about the advantages of laser back surgery and to receive a free MRI or CT scan review.
