Can you help people who have had previous “open” spine surgery or fusion surgery that wasn’t successful?
Approximately 50% of the patients who come to Laser Spine Health have had previous “open” spine surgery that failed. “Open” spine surgery often produces massive scar tissue and this scar tissue can then begin producing radicular pain as it presses on nerve roots. Likewise, the hardware inserted in fusion surgeries can eventually become a problem in that it produces scar tissue, or it can become loosened and move into a position where it compresses a nerve. In many cases we can remove the problematic hardware and relieve the radicular pain it was causing.
