Herniated Disc Treatment from Laser Spine Institute Can be Safer Than Traditional Surgery

A herniated disc seems like a simple problem: the soft cushion between two of your vertebrae has slipped out of place and is causing pain by pressing on spinal nerves. But traditional herniated disc treatment can be anything but easy. That’s because most doctors will rightly ask you to try more conservative treatments before trying surgery. This could mean months of restricted movement, hot and cold compacts, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and more with little to no results. By then, the pain could be so tiresome that you’ll do anything for some relief. Unfortunately, that may mean a surgeon has to cut into your back through muscle and bone to dislodge the herniated disc. This type of herniated disc treatment comes with a variety of potential complications including an increased risk of infection and a painful recovery while the incised tissue heals. But the medical professionals at Laser Spine Institute would like you to consider something different before submitting to this surgery. We offer a herniated disc treatment that’s much less invasive, making it safer for patients.

Here’s how it works:

• Rather than the general anesthesia used in traditional surgery, LSI’s staff administers a local anesthesia at the surgery site, and an IV drip is administered for conscious sedation.
• A small incision is made in the in the back, and a tiny tube is inserted.
• Gradually larger tubes are slid over it, easing muscle and other tissue away from the spine and herniated disc.
• Surgical tools are fed through the tube.
• A laser is used to gently and precisely remove the excess potion of the herniated disc, relieving pressure on the nerve and the related symptoms.
• The tube is removed and after one day of physical therapy, and the patient is discharged from LSI’s care.

This herniated disc treatment is not only minimally invasive, but also highly effective. A high percentage of LSI’s patients report that they have an improved quality of life within three weeks of the surgery, and many say they felt relief before they were even off the operating table.

If you’d like to find out if LSI’s herniated disc treatment will work for you, contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan free of charge.
