Degenerative Disc Help from Laser Spine Institute

Degenerative Disc Help from Laser Spine Institute

If you suffer from a degenerative disc and conservative treatments like bed rest, physical therapy, and over-the-counter medicines haven’t eased your pain, take heart. The back and neck pain experts at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) may be able to help.
We use endoscopic techniques to perform minimally invasive procedures that treat the pain that sometimes accompanies degenerative disc disease.

Unlike traditional back or neck surgery, these procedures require no:

  • Hospitalization. All of our procedures are performed in an outpatient surgical setting.
  • Large incision. We only need an incision about 1 centimeter long to perform our procedure.
  • General anesthesia. Our procedure is gentle enough that only a local anesthetic and IV sedative are needed.
  • Cutting or tearing of muscle. Our procedures are endoscopic, so they use a narrow tube to push muscles out of the way instead of ripping them or cutting them.

All of these measures make recovery shorter and less likely to be marked by discomfort. And, our procedures are also very effective when it comes to treating back conditions like degenerative disc. More than 85% of our patients report an increase in the quality of their lives within three months of the procedure. Some say they even feel relief before they are off the operating table.

If you’d like more information on degenerative disc help from LSI, contact us today. We can review your CT scan or MRI for free to determine if an LSI treatment is right for you.
