Scar Tissue Treatment for Back or Neck Pain Sufferers at Laser Spine Institute
For countless back and neck pain sufferers, the problem isn’t a bulging disc, osteoarthritis, or degenerative disc disease. It’s scar tissue. This tough, fibrous tissue can press on nerve roots, causing common back and neck problems like pinched nerves and sciatica. Fortunately, there is scar tissue treatment available that is both effective and safe at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). Our surgeons perform innovative procedures using endoscopic techniques that can remove scar tissue gently and effectively. This isn’t always true of traditional open-back surgery. Those procedures often require large, deep incisions that can actually create more scar tissue. Previous surgery is actually one of the scar tissue causes that lead patients to LSI for scar tissue treatment.
Others causes of scar tissue include:
- Injury to the spinal canal
- Misuse, such as improper lifting
- Repetitive use
- More
In some cases, scar tissue formed by these causes never manifests into a problem. However, if it grows large enough in the right place, it can compress nerve root tissue, which can result in pain, numbness, tingling, and other discomfort. If you’ve experienced this type of pain and your doctor has diagnosed it as scar tissue related, you may want to consider treatment at LSI. It’s a great alternative for those who’ve achieved little relief from conservative scar tissue treatment options like stretching, physical therapy and over-the-counter-medicines.
