Minimally Invasive Ruptured Disc Surgery: A 5-Day Process to Relieve Pain

Minimally Invasive Ruptured Disc Surgery: A 5-Day Process to Relieve Pain

As part of our commitment to offer the most advanced and effective treatments for people living with ruptured disc back pain and other spinal conditions, Laser Spine Institute has streamlined our outpatient surgeries to a revolutionary 5-day process. Just think, after living with debilitating ruptured disc pain and weakness for months or years, our innovative procedures can have you on your feet in an hour, back at home in less than a week, and feeling better in as little as one week.

As a matter of fact, some of our patients suffering from a ruptured disc have reported immediate improvement in their condition after laser assisted surgery at LSI. During the 5-day process, you will be treated in our world class facility offering a state-of-the-art imaging center, physical therapy department, catered meals, zero-gravity chairs, computers with free Internet access, and much more. Surrounded by these spa-like amenities, you can get your life back in as little as five days:

  • Day One - Your LSI experience begins with a new patient evaluation, a complete physical, an MRI and/or x-rays (if needed), an electrocardiogram (EKG), and lab work.
  • Day Two - The second day, you will sit with your surgeon to discuss your MRI and ask any questions you have. Diagnostic injections may also be ordered on the second day.
  • Day Three - On the third day, you will receive information about anesthesia , after which, we’ll perform our groundbreaking outpatient surgery to relieve you of your ruptured disc symptoms.
  • Day Four - The day after surgery, you will receive physical therapy and have your post-operative visit.
  • Day Five - During your final day, you will receive more physical therapy and released from LSI to begin your new life.

This 5-day process is one of the many ways we cater to the needs of our patients. Since we perform more minimally invasive spine procedures per month than any other spine facility worldwide, we understand that one of the primary objectives of our patients is to return home as soon as possible. Our outpatient procedures and streamlined process work together to keep recovery time to a minimum.
