Intervertebral Disc Surgery

Intervertebral disc surgery is a treatment option for patients with persistent back and neck pain who have not responded to other, more conservative, pain management techniques. Intervertebral disc surgery becomes necessary when one or more of the soft, spongy pads that cushion the spinal vertebrae becomes herniated, ruptured, protruded, or otherwise deteriorated and is causing nerve compression. Surgeries, like spinal fusion or disc arthroplasty, are typically seen as a last resort and are almost always elective.

Perhaps the most appealing type of intervertebral disc surgery is endoscopic spine surgery. Unlike traditional open back surgery, endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive and involve the assistance of state-of-the-art lasers. The result is an unparalleled level of precision, a shorter recovery period, and less pain. At the forefront of this emerging field of orthopedic surgery is the surgical staff at Laser Spine Institute (LSI).

Spinal surgeons at LSI have perfected procedures to successfully treat disc deterioration or damage caused by:

• Regular aging or genetics
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Injury
• Osteoarthritis
• And more

Whereas open back surgery is massively invasive and requires lengthy recovery and rehabilitation, Laser Spine Institute is proud to provide meaningful pain relief without the hassle of major surgery. Surgery isn’t for everyone, and more often than not, back and neck pain can be managed with the help of a physician, but for a select few, intervertebral disc surgery is the last resort.

If this is your prognosis, contact LSI today to learn about minimally invasive spine treatments. We are happy to provide you with a free review your MRI or CT scan and help you make an informed decision about which disc procedure is right for you.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
