Neck Spur Treatment by Laser Spine Institute: Gentle Outpatient Procedures with a High Success Rate
Once it has been determined that a bone spur is pressing on the neck area of your spinal column and irritating your spinal nerves, there are several treatments available. At first, your doctor probably will recommend non-surgical treatments to see if they provide you with meaningful relief.
Non-surgical neck spur treatment may include:
- Rest
- Muscle relaxant medication
- Pain mediation
- Anti-inflammatory medication
- Physical therapy
- Exercise to strengthen the back and neck and improve posture
- Cortisone injections to reduce swelling which may need to be repeated over time
In more serious cases, non-surgical treatment of neck spurs does not provide lasting relief from chronic pain, and at that time you may be told about surgical options. During surgery, the goal is to release your spinal nerves from the pressure caused by neck spurs, basically removing the problem at its source.
Laser Spine Institute offers endoscopic solutions for the treatment of neck spurs, and the vast majority of our patients report relief from their symptoms. Our minimally invasive laser spine surgeries offer a multitude of benefits such as small incisions, quick recovery times, extremely low risk of infection, and the use of local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia.
To learn more about a gentle outpatient procedure that could mean an end to your neck spur symptoms, please contact Laser Spine Institute today. We look forward to answering your questions and providing you with a free MRI or CT scan review.
