Herniated Disc Treatment at LSI Is Backed By Experienced Doctors and a High Success Rate

The first step to choosing the best treatment for your herniated disc is understanding the problem. When a spinal disc pushes its inner filling through the external wall and crowds nerves, it can cause a shooting pain in your arms or legs; make it difficult to sit, stand and/or exercise; and cause general inflammation. So it stands to reason that painkillers, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, physical therapy, and other conservative pain management solutions won’t treat the problem. To do that, you’ll need surgery that physically removes the portion of the herniated disc that’s placing pressure on the nerves.

Surgical treatment of herniated discs can be achieved in a number of ways. Traditional surgery does it through a disectomy. This operation involves cutting through skin and muscle to access the herniated disc site. It may also require a laminectomy—cutting away a portion of the vertebra to get at the extrusion. But cutting the bone can make the vertebra weaker, so it is sometimes fused to the adjacent vertebra for added support. The disectomy / laminectomy can be successful in treating your herniated disc, but it can also lead to a build-up of scar tissue and pressure in the spinal canal leading to new back pain. Laser surgery is another way to treat your problem, and it is often more effective than traditional surgery. Additionally, it doesn’t require hospitalization, causes less trauma to the body, and presents a lower chance of infection and other complications. But, as this surgery becomes increasingly popular, more and more facilities offer it as a treatment option.

Here are just a few reasons why you should opt to have your laser-assisted herniated disc surgery at LSI:

We have the most experience. We perform more laser back surgeries per month than any other facility worldwide—about 400 a month.
We have three surgical centers nationwide—Tampa, Scottsdale, and Philadelphia—to reduce your travel.
We use the most advanced surgical instruments, and our surgeons are highly trained and experienced in laser surgery and herniated disc treatment.
If we find other spinal problems (bone spurs, stenosis, degenerative disc) in addition to your herniated disc, we will treat everything we can at the same time, to give you better pain relief and save you money. Other laser surgery centers will make you come back several times, increasing the risk of complications and the cost of care.
We offer you world-class facilities with state-of-the-art imaging centers, physical therapy departments, catered meals, zero-gravity chairs, computers with free Internet access, in most locations.

If you’d like more information about why you should choose LSI for your herniated disc surgery, please contact us today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan free of charge to determine if you are a good candidate for our procedure.
