Further research and analysis of cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) studies, conclude that patients reported significant decreases in their pain and spine disability numbers while overall aspects of quality of life drastically improved over time.  In addition, the studies show that within 12 weeks of Laser Spine Institute surgery, 77% of cervical and lumbar patients returned to their activities of daily living.  The studies also demonstrate that endoscopic laminotomy and foraminotomy decompression of the cervical and lumbar spine can be safely and successfully performed in an outpatient setting.^{2, 3}
