Facet Disease Treatment Options: Reasons Why Laser Spine Surgery Is the Better Choice

Having arthritis in one knee or hip is bad enough, but arthritis in the facet joints - the many joints running down the spinal column - can mean agony that extends from the shoulders to the thighs. Facet disease is basically defined as arthritis or degeneration in one or more facet joints, causing pain in the joints themselves as well as pain that radiates to the hips, thighs, shoulders, and arms. This pain, in addition to overall stiffness, can limit your ability to work, play golf, garden, walk through a store, and even tie your shoes.

Laser Spine Institute has encouraging news for you if you need treatment for facet disease, news that could mean relief from your pain and a new start in life. Our minimally invasive laser facet thermal ablation is an outpatient procedure in which surgeons clean the affected facet joints and deaden localized nerves, similar to the way a dentist deadens nerves in a root canal.

This laser assisted facet disease surgery provides patients with a long list of benefits, including:

• It is an outpatient procedure that takes about 30-60 minutes.
• It requires no general anesthesia and no hospital stay.
• It has very high success rates, as more than 85% of our patients say they experience relief within 3 months.
• The recovery time is very short.
• The risk of infection is miniscule, 0.1%, making it 40 times lower than the national hospital average infection rate of 4%.
• Patients are up and walking within an hour of the surgery and some report immediate relief from their facet disease pain.

At LSI, we would be happy to discuss the benefits of our facet thermal ablation and explain in more detail how it can relieve facet disease pain. To learn more and to receive a free MRI or CT scan review, contact us today.
