Facet Pain Treatment at Laser Spine Institute

Living with facet pain can truly change your life. It can make you think twice about participating in your weekly pick-up basketball game or even taking a long walk. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Laser Spine Institute (LSI) offers an innovative treatment for facet pain sufferers called facet thermal ablation.

Our facet pain procedure is minimally invasive, meaning that we use only one tiny incision and no muscle is cut or torn to access the site. This allows us to perform the procedure in an outpatient facility rather than a hospital, and also eliminates the need for general anesthesia. These two factors considerably reduce the risks associated with back surgery, making LSI’s procedure safer for the patient. Our minimally invasive techniques are also much gentler on the body, so recovery is quicker and less painful than a traditional surgery.

It may be right for you if:

You’ve already tried conservative methods such as physical therapy, over-the-counter pain medications or hot and cold compresses and achieved no relief.
Your doctor has told you there is nothing that can be done to relieve your back pain.
You’ve already had a failed back surgery.
You are interested in surgery but are afraid of the many risks and complications that accompany it.

If you’d like more information about treating your facet pain at LSI, contact us today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI for free.
