Lumbar Ruptured Disc Relief from Laser Spine Institute

A lumbar ruptured disc occurs when one of the intervertebral discs in the lower back breaks open and spills its gel-like center into the spinal canal. The makeup of the material can be irritating to the surrounding nerves, as can the pressure it causes. The result can be numbness, tingling, or burning pain in the back as well as the buttocks, legs and feet. For some, the pain can be truly excruciating. Generally treatment begins with conservative, non-invasive methods including physical therapy, over-the-counter medications, and hot or cold compresses. Beyond that, steroid shots may be used, and if that brings no relief, surgery is sometimes suggested. If you find yourself in this scenario, consider treatment at Laser Spine Institute (LSI).

Our procedures offer a variety of benefits over traditional lumbar ruptured disc surgery, including:

Outpatient delivery. LSI procedures are performed in state-of-the-art surgery centers on an outpatient basis.
Reduced risk for infection. Because the procedure doesn’t take place in a hospital and the incision used is small, infection is less likely.
No general anesthesia. Due to its minimally invasive nature, LSI’s procedure only requires deep IV sedation and local anesthesia.
Quicker recovery. Because LSI uses endoscopic techniques that minimize tissue damage, recovery is generally much faster than it is following traditional surgery.

One of the greatest benefits of surgery at LSI is likelihood of success. More than 85% of our patients report an increased quality of life within three months of the treatment, and some have even noticed a reduction in their symptoms within hours of the procedure.

To learn more about our lumbar ruptured disc procedure, percutaneous endoscopic discectomy, contact LSI today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan free of charge.
