Laser Spine Institute Albuquerque

The first step toward relief from chronic back or neck pain may be only a phone call away. At Laser Spine Institute Albuquerque, our renowned medical staff is waiting to provide a complimentary consultation, including a review of your most recent MRI or CT scan. If a degenerative spine condition such as bone spurs, a herniated disc, a bulging disc, or spinal joint deterioration is putting your quality of life in jeopardy, you may be a candidate for a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure performed using endoscopic technology.

When to Seek Help at Laser Spine Institute

Degenerative spine conditions related to the aging process can lead to irritation or compression of adjacent spinal nerve roots or of the spinal cord itself. In turn, nerve compression can produce symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While nothing can stop the aging process, symptom management may be aided by a knowledge of the primary risk factors for developing spine problems:

• Age – people 50 or older are more likely to develop arthritis.
• Overused joints – this can occur through repetitive lifting, bending, or twisting, as well as from constantly slouching while seated at a desk or driving.
• Injury or trauma to bones – whiplash, compression fracture, or other kinds of injuries can contribute to joint deterioration.
• Obesity – excess body weight places more stress on the joints.
• Genetics – inherited traits can produce conditions experienced by family members.
• Gender – women are twice as likely to develop arthritis.
• Other conditions – decreased blood supply, chronic illness, infection, or a diminished immune system can contribute to joint degradation.
