Slipped Disc Surgery

Slipped Disc Surgery

Slipped disc surgery is typically recommended to treat an individual’s back or neck pain after all forms of conservative, non-surgical treatments have been sufficiently exhausted. Operations like disc arthroplasty, spinal fusion, or a minimally invasive percutaneous endoscopic discectomy may all be used to manage an individual’s discomfort from nerve compression. Typically seen as an elective procedure, slipped disc surgery can help alleviate pain or neurological symptoms, but also carries a number of risks that warrant consideration prior to the operation.

Normally, if a patient is suffering from severe symptoms from a slipped disc, a doctor will first attempt to manage the pain with a conservative treatment plan, which can include pain medication, exercise, and heat packs. In the event that the individual does not find pain relief from this treatment plan, slipped disc surgery may be considered.

If this is the prognosis, the patient should contact Laser Spine Institute (LSI) to learn all about endoscopic spine procedures as alternative to invasive open back surgery. Some advantages of these endoscopic disc surgeries include:

  • Spinal surgeons utilize the latest in gentle laser technology to remove the portion of the slipped disc causing pain
  • The operation is minimally invasive and outpatient, so no hospitalization is required
  • Endoscopic spine surgery is quicker and less painful that traditional surgery
  • The operation is laser-assisted and extremely precise
