Foraminal Stenosis Treatment from Laser Spine Institute Delivers Relief for Many

If you suffer from forminal stenosis, you know firsthand the constant lower back and neck pain that comes with the disorder. It’s caused by tissue build up in a foramen, an opening where nerves pass from the spinal canal into the rest of the body. This tissue build-up squeezes the nerve, causing pain and irritation to the surrounding area, and sometimes to the regions of the body where the nerve travels. The result can be pain radiating into your buttocks, down your legs and all the way to your feet. It’s possible that you’re limping and you may have lost bowel or bladder control. But even with all of this discomfort, the foraminal stenosis treatment that your doctor offered you may sound so invasive and potentially risky you don’t want to get it done.  The procedure, called a laminectomy, calls for a portion of vertebral bone to be cut away, along with the offending tissue. In some cases the affected vertebrae may then be fused to an adjacent vertebra for added strength. But this fusion may cause pressure on a different part of the spine or scar tissue may build up near the site of the cut. In both cases, you may end up with the same pain that you were looking to relieve with the foraminal stenosis treatment in the first place. Fortunately, at Laser Spine Institute we offer a treatment that is minimally invasive, has a lower risk of complications, and comes with a high rate of success.

Here is how LSI’s foraminal stenosis treatment works:

• Local anesthesia is used to numb the area where the surgery will occur and an IV drip is administered for conscious sedation.
• A surgeon makes a small incision in you back near the stenosis site.
• A tiny tube is placed in the incision and larger tubes are slid over it, gently spreading the muscle and tissue apart so the surgeon has access to the spine. This method simply pushes the tissue out of the way rather than cutting or tearing it.
• The laser and other surgical tools are fed through the tube, and the surgery takes place.
• The tube is removed and after one day of physical therapy, you are discharged from LSI’s care.

The minimally-invasive nature of the procedure comes with a decreased risk of complications, like infection, and a quicker, more comfortable healing process than a traditional foraminal stenosis treatment. More than 85% say their quality of life has increased within 3 months of having the surgery, and some even tell us they feel immediate relief from their foraminal stenosis treatment while they are still on the table.
