Neck Spur Surgery & Treatment: Reasons Why You Should Consider Laser Spine Institute

Neck Spur Surgery & Treatment: Reasons Why You Should Consider Laser Spine Institute

Bone spurs can occur anywhere in the body and are a common phenomenon in people older than 60. When a spur forms on a bone (or “vertebra") in the neck, the neck spur itself is not painful, but this excess bone growth can cause discomfort if it presses upon spinal nerves. Due to its location, neck spur overgrowth can cause pain, weakness, and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and arms.

If neck spur symptoms are mild, patients may find temporary relief with medication, rest, physical therapy, and cortisone injections. In more serious cases that are causing unrelenting pain and loss of function, surgery on the neck and spine might become necessary.

Laser Spine Institute performs more minimally invasive spine surgeries each month than any other spinal facility around the world, making us a top choice for people exploring the possibility of neck spur surgery. Other reasons why thousands of people have turned to LSI for their neck and back problems include the following:

  • We specialize in endoscopic spinal surgeries, meaning small incisions, no general anesthesia, and no hospital stay.
  • The success rate of LSI’s endoscopic procedures is phenomenal, with more than 85% of our patients experiencing relief within 3 months of surgery.
  • We have streamlined our gentle, outpatient procedures into a 5-day process that includes exams, testing, scans, surgery, and physical therapy.
  • Our state-of-the-art facility’s infection rate is 40 times lower than that of the nationwide hospital average.

If you are experiencing neck spur symptoms and are having no luck with non-surgical treatments, then we hope you will contact LSI about endoscopic procedures that can bring an end to your chronic pain - as well as a start to a new life with the freedom to participate in the activities you enjoy. Please get in touch with LSI today for a free CT scan or MRI review. At that time, we will be happy to answer your questions and provide you with more information.
