Herniated Disk Help from Laser Spine Institute
If you’re living with a herniated disk, chances are you’re looking for a treatment that can end the tingling, weakness, and pain for good. For the lucky majority, the answer lies in conservative therapies like bed rest, stretching, and over-the-counter medicines. For a smaller group, stronger prescription medicines or spinal steroid injections may be needed. But unfortunately, even those aggressive interventions won’t effectively eliminate herniated disk pain for some. Those that continue to suffer may need to consider surgery. If you fall into that group and you’ve read up on the traditional surgical treatment available, you may be a reluctant participant. The surgery can be highly invasive, painful to recover from, and in the end, may not even work.
While no herniated disk treatment is a sure thing, what we offer at Laser Spine Institute works for many people, and the process is gentler on the body than traditional surgery. That’s possible because we perform endoscopic procedures, meaning that we use tiny tools and a camera to fix back pain causes while disturbing as little of the surrounding tissue is possible. This technique requires just a small incision, and the tools are fed to the procedure site through a narrow tube. The tube gently pushes muscle and other tissue aside, so there is no need to cut or tear muscle, which can make recovery much longer and more painful. Following our endoscopic herniated disk treatment, our patients are back to their normal activities quickly, and 85% report having a better quality of life within three months of the procedure.
