Laser Assisted Ruptured Disc Surgery - Higher Success Rate with Fewer Complications

After living with sharp, persistent pain and leg weakness, caused by a ruptured disc, you may be willing to do just about anything for relief. Thankfully, in some cases, ruptured disc symptoms will improve on their own in about a month. Other cases might get better with rest, physical therapy, heating pads, and cold compresses. If those fail to improve mobility, a doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory pills or injections to release pressure on the throbbing nerves.

Once conservative treatments have been exhausted and you still do not experience relief, your doctor may recommend conventional open-back surgery for your ruptured disc. As you research this option, you may realize that open-back surgery could involve large incisions, risk of infection, general anesthesia, a hospital stay, and possibly months of recovery time - all of which can be severely limiting and inconvenient.

At this point, you owe it to yourself to consider the benefits of laser-assisted back surgery to treat your ruptured disc, such as:

No hospital stay required
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and deep IV sedation, which means you will be conscious and comfortable throughout the procedure
Since you are conscious, you are able to communicate with the doctor during your laser surgery
Only a small incision is made, which leaves you with minimal muscle and tissue damage
You can be up and walking the same day of your laser surgery
Immediate pain relief reported in some cases
Returning to normal life in as little as one week

Imagine yourself without ruptured disc problems and returning to all the activities you used to love, such as travel and sports. This is entirely possible after your treatment at Laser Spine Institute, where more than 85% of our patients have reported relief from their back problems within three months - a much higher success rate than what conventional back surgery patients have reported.
