Herniated Disc Sufferers May Be Candidates for Laser Spine Surgery at LSI

Herniated Disc Sufferers May Be Candidates for Laser Spine Surgery at LSI

Here’s a little known fact: a large percentage of people walk around with herniated discs and yet never experience herniated disc symptoms. However, for the group that does experience herniated disc pain, it can be impossible to ignore. That’s because when these shock absorbing discs slip out of place, the gel-like filling squeezes into the spinal canal and puts pressure on nerves. Additionally, the chemical makeup of the gel-like material can also cause inflammation and irritation. The result is pain that shoots down the arms or legs depending on the location of the herniated disc. It can be a debilitating condition that limits your ability to work, exercise or even sit or stand comfortably for an extended period of time. If you’re experiencing these types of symptoms, you may be a candidate for herniated disc surgery at Laser Spine Institute.

Our patients:

  • Have usually tried conservative pain management and treatment methods for their herniated disc pain, including anti-inflammatory medications, painkillers, physical therapy, and spinal steroid injections, and they have achieved little to no relief.
  • Have sometimes been told by their doctors that there is no way to relieve their pain.
  • Are often considering a conventional surgery, such as a disectomy.

Our process offers these patients a solution to their pain—not just management of symptoms—and it requires only a minimally invasive surgery which is gentler on the body than traditional surgery. The incision is smaller, and the surgery doesn’t require hospitalization or general anesthesia. These factors result in a reduced risk of infection, a shorter recovery time, and a decrease in scar tissue build up. That means our patients are back on their feet faster and are less likely to struggle with lingering effects of surgery and reoccurring back pain.

If you’d like to learn more about laser herniated disc treatment at LSI, contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for our surgery.
