Los Angeles Surgeons Offer a Cutting Edge Procedure to Ease Chronic Back Pain Living with chronic back pain can turn even the most basic task into an exhausting chore. You deserve to be at your best every day, pain free, even when initial attempts to manage your pain have failed. If conservative techniques like physical therapy and medication haven’t worked for you, it may be time to consider a surgical option. A laminectomy is a minimally invasive surgery designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, stopping nerve and back pain at the source. The procedure removes two small pieces of the vertebrae, called the lamina, opening up the spinal canal so the spinal cord isn’t being squeezed. Fast and low risk, a laser laminectomy is an excellent option to manage your pain and prevent future nerve damage.
