Neck Spur Relief from the Expert Team at Laser Spine Institute

Neck Spur Relief from the Expert Team at Laser Spine Institute

If you are suffering from a bone spur in your neck, odds are you are actively looking for meaningful neck spur relief. Fortunately, you have a variety of options at your disposal, ranging from conservative management to spine surgery, depending on the origin, scope and severity of your condition.

A neck spur develops as the body’s way of repairing a damaged bone. Not really a spur, but a smooth growth of bone tissue, this structure develops to stave off the effects of deterioration. Unfortunately, if the spur comes into contact with another bone, soft tissue, or a nerve root, painful symptoms can present.  And perhaps most frustrating of all, a bone spur often seems to come out of nowhere. Whether a nasty byproduct of the normal aging process or a recent symptom of another underlying issue, development a bone spur is unpredictable. 

Finding neck spur relief first begins with a visit to your physician. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor will normally attempt to manage your pain conservatively. In most instances, these non-surgical treatments sufficiently alleviate the patient’s pain, but occasionally the symptoms warrant more aggressive treatment.

Common conservative treatments for bone spurs include:

  • Anti-inflammatory pain medication—either over-the-counter or prescription
  • Cortisone or steroidal injections
  • Physical therapy and low-impact exercise
  • Rest
  • Exercises to build up the strength of the neck

At Laser Spine Institute (LSI) we know how painful a bone spur can be, which is why we’re proud to offer neck spur relief in the form of endoscopic spine surgery should conservative treatment not provide you with the relief you require. Our minimally invasive, outpatient operations utilize the latest in gentle laser technology, providing your orthopedic surgeon with an unmatched level of precision when treating your bone spur. And because our instruments are so tiny, we only require a very small incision site, making the procedure quicker and recovery time significantly shorter than most other spine operations. 

If you’re looking for neck spur relief, LSI is the place to be. For more information on our services and for a free review of your MRI or CT scan, contact LSI today.
