Finding a Neck Spur Alternative Treatment from Laser Spine Institute

Suffering from a neck spur and looking for an alternative to traditional surgery? At your wits end and tired of reeling from constant pain? If so, consider the award-winning team at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). Using the latest in laser technology, our world-renowned orthopedic surgeons gently treat your pain with a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive, outpatient procedure at one of our conveniently located regional surgical centers.

A neck spur is actually no more than a smooth growth of bone tissue on the surface of one of the vertebrae in the cervical spine. Created as the body’s way of repairing damaged bones, this extra bone development attempts to fend off the effects of conditions like degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and traumatic injury. However, should a neck spur come into contact with another bone, some neighboring soft tissue, or a nerve root, pain-related symptoms can present and treatment may be required.

In general, managing the symptoms of a neck spur can be handled with conservative, non-surgical treatment; however, more aggressive treatment is occasionally warranted. Some neck spur alternative treatments include:

Anti-inflammatory painkillers, either over-the-counter or prescription medication
Strengthening and stretching exercises to build up the neck
Other low-impact exercise like yoga or Pilates
The application of heat or ice packs
Cortisone shots or other injections

Should these conservative treatments prove insufficient, neck surgery may be warranted. If you’re looking for a neck spur alternative and non-surgical treatments have failed to alleviate your pain, look no further than Laser Spine Institute.
