Herniated Disk Treatment at LSI May Provide Relief Quicker Than Traditional Surgery

Herniated Disk Treatment at LSI May Provide Relief Quicker Than Traditional Surgery

If you’re searching for a herniated disk treatment, it’s probably because you’re living with tingling, weakness, and pain that can be severe enough to sideline the most active person. It can rob you of the simplest pleasures, like an evening walk or a round of golf, and it can even prevent you from working if you have a physical job. If you’ve already tried the conservative treatments for herniated disks including physical therapy, stretching, bed rest and over-the-counter medications, surgery might be an option you’re considering. If it is, you’ll want to look into herniated disk treatment at Laser Spine Institute (LSI).

This procedure, a percutaneous arthroscopic discectomy, comes with the following benefits:

  • Minimal invasion. It requires only a small incision in the back that is easily closed with a stitch or two.
  • Requires no hospitalization. The procedure is performed at one of our outpatient surgical centers, and our patients recover in the comfort of their own home or a nearby hotel.
  • Uses only local anesthesia and deep IV sedation. No general anesthesia is required, so the risks associated specifically with that anesthetic are avoided.
  • Quick Recovery. Our patients are generally walking within hours of the surgery, and they are back to their normal activities quickly.

Of course, the greatest benefit of our procedure is its effectiveness. More than 85% of our patients report a higher quality of life within three months of the procedure, and some even feel relief before they are off the operating table.

If you’d like more information about this herniated disk treatment, contact us today.  We’ll let you know if you are a good candidate for our percutaneous arthroscopic discectomy after reviewing your CT scan or MRI free of charge.
