Ruptured Disc Relief from Laser Spine Institute
If you’re living with a painful ruptured disc, it’s possible that you’ve researched a variety of remedies, but have found nothing that works. At Laser Spine Institute (LSI), we’re here to tell you not give up hope on ruptured disc relief. We offer an innovative treatment called percutaneous endoscopic discectomy that uses a laser and other tiny instruments to carefully remove the portion of the intervertebral disc that has pressed into the spinal canal and caused pressure and pain. This treatment is highly effective and safer than traditional open-back surgery for ruptured disc relief. However, in most cases, even this minimally invasive surgery shouldn’t be considered before more conservative treatments have been tried.
Those treatments could include:
- Rest
- Elimination of activities that exacerbate pain
- Over-the-counter medications
- Physical therapy
- Hot and cold compresses
- Spinal steroid injections
Fortunately for most, these treatments are able to significantly reduce or eliminate ruptured disc pain. But if you are in the minority of patients who need something more aggressive, LSI’s procedure might be the right treatment for you. It requires no hospitalization, general anesthesia, or large incision. These features help reduce the risk of complications and keep recovery shorter than what follows traditional surgery. And, our treatments produce amazing results. In fact, more than 85% of our patients report an improved quality of life within three months of their procedures.
If you’d like more information on this type of ruptured disc relief, contact LSI today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI for free to determine if we can help.
