Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment with LSI’s Revolutionary 5-Day Process

Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment with LSI’s Revolutionary 5-Day Process

Degenerative disc disease is a spinal condition that is linked to the normal aging process. It starts when the cushiony discs between your vertebrae deteriorate over the years. This deterioration causes a narrowing of your normal “disc space.” Eventually the narrowing can result in pressure on your spinal cord and pain for you.

Degenerative disc disease can happen at any level of your spinal column and, depending on the level, can cause pain to radiate from your back to many other parts of your body. The amount of pain you experience from this disease may range from somewhat frustrating to severely debilitating.

Whether you have degenerative disc disease pain that is irritating, crippling, or somewhere in between, Laser Spine Institute wants to hear from you. LSI is the largest laser spine surgery facility in the world and our minimally invasive outpatient procedures can be completed in less than an hour. As a matter of fact, we have perfected our treatment of back pain to a 5-Day Process, putting you on the path to getting your life back in less than a week.

Here is what you can expect from LSI’s revolutionary 5-Day Process:

  • Day One - Patient evaluation, a complete physical, MRI and/or X-rays, EKG, and lab work
  • Day Two - MRI discussion with your surgeon and, if ordered, diagnostic injections
  • Day Three - Anesthesia discussion and outpatient laser back surgery for your sciatic nerve pain
  • Day Four - Physical therapy evaluation, physical therapy, and a post-operative visit
  • Day Five - Physical therapy and release from LSI

If you have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and you’re searching for safe, minimally invasive surgical solutions, we invite you to give LSI a call or send us an e-mail. Our medical experts can provide you with a free MRI or CT scan review, as well as answer your questions about the options we may have available to treat your condition and ease your pain.
