Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment at Laser Spine Institute

Fortunately for most lumbar degenerative disc disease sufferers, pain is mild and only occasionally worsens. However, if you are one of the few that experiences a lot of pain from your condition, you should know that there are options for treatment that can be prescribed by your doctor. You can apply hot and cold compacts to the lower back alternately to increase flexibility and reduce inflammation. You can also perform special stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding your degenerative disc site. This may help reduce the bone on bone pressure that can result from the condition. Over-the-counter medicines can also reduce the pain and inflammation you may experience. If none of these methods, or others recommended by your doctor, are able to substantially reduce your symptoms, you may be able to undergo surgery. If you choose a procedure with Laser Spine Institute (LSI) you can achieve relief without many of the common side effects and complications experienced after traditional open-back surgery.

There are several reasons LSI procedures are less traumatic than traditional surgery, including:

No hospitalization. All of our procedures are performed on an outpatient basis at one of our surgery centers.
No large incision. Our incision is only about 1 centimeter long, reducing the chance that an infection could enter the body.
No cutting of muscle. This means you’ll have less scar tissue and an easier recovery.
No general anesthesia. We use only local anesthesia and an IV sedative.

If you’d like more information about lumbar degenerative disc disease treatment at LSI, contact us today. We’ll be happy to review your MRI or CT scan free of charge to determine if you are a good candidate for any of our procedures.
