Treatments for Herniated Disc

Treatments for herniated disc can vary depending on the sufferer’s age, physical condition, severity of symptoms, and much more. Most of the time, however, herniated discs heal naturally over time, and conservative treatments are able to relieve the sufferer’s pain enough to allow for a normal life.

Conservative treatments for a herniated disc include:

Rest
Hot and cold compresses
Stretching
Steroid injections
Topical creams
Prescription and over-the-counter painkillers

If you’ve tried all these techniques without long-term relief and you continue to experience debilitating symptoms, then your doctor may recommend herniated disc surgery as a last-resort treatment. If this is the case for you, then you should know that there is an effective alternative to open back and neck surgery. Laser Spine Institute performs successful procedures to treat herniated discs that can help you get your life back and rediscover a life without back or neck pain. By utilizing endoscopic techniques to treat the offending disc, Laser Spine Institute Spine Surgeons are able to provide patients with relief without using invasive techniques common in traditional surgery, like large incisions, cutting muscle, and general anesthesia. Laser Spine Institute’s procedures are also followed by a much faster recovery time than traditional surgery, and have an extremely high success rate - more than 87%.

If you’d like more information about treatments for herniated disc and minimally invasive spine surgery, or you’d like Laser Spine Institute’s medical team to review your MRI or CT scan free of charge, contact them today.
