Ultrasonic Spine Treatment

Highly invasive: This procedure destroys normal bone and bone marrow from the spine and may result in spinal instability.

Excessive bleeding: Muscle trauma and bone destruction cause bleeding.

Destruction of normal stabilizing bones including lamina, spinous process and facet joint by the surgeon during Ultrasonic Spine Surgery

Damage of normal muscles around the spine by the surgeon during Ultrasonic Spine Surgery

Scar tissue forms within and around the spine and nerves after Ultrasonic Spine Surgery

Worst of all, the actual source of back pain (pain generator) is NOT treated with this procedure. Disc herniations and degenerated discs are not treated when Ultrasonic Spine Surgery is performed. They are the most common cause of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain.

Herniated discs are not treated with Ultrasonic Spine Surgery.

Bone necrosis (bone death) is common after Ultrasonic Spine Surgery and may require additional surgery

Excessive pain may occur after Ultrasonic Spine Surgery due to muscle or bone necrosis (death). The dying muscles and bone cause severe postoperative pain that requires opioid painkillers and muscle relaxers. Opioid painkillers are highly addicting, cause tolerance, abuse and even death from breathing failure.

Back pain will likely become worse after Ultrasonic Spine Surgery. Fusion may be necessary.

Additional surgery will likely be necessary in patients having Ultrasonic Spine Surgery

Nerve root damage

Spinal fluid leak

Infection of bone or spine

Instability from surgery

Fractured bones in spine

Failure to eliminate back pain
