Bulging Disc Alternative Treatment Options

Are you suffering from a bulging disc and in search of an alternative to a life of pain? If so, look no further than the experienced and world-renowned team of spine surgeons at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). Rather than subject yourself to intrusive open-back surgery, consider instead a minimally invasive spine procedure from LSI. Using the latest in laser and computer technology, our surgeons are able to pinpoint the source of your discomfort and make the necessary fix with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue.

Before deciding if this treatment is right for you, it’s important to understand your condition, and the other treatments available. A bulging disc occurs when one of the spongy intervertebral discs that cushion the spine becomes swollen and extrudes into the spinal canal. Should this extrusion result in nerve compression, painful symptoms can develop, including sciatica, muscle weakness, and loss of sensory function. Specific symptoms depend on the location, severity and origin of the bulging disc. These symptoms can typically be treated with conservative, non-surgical methods. These generally include physical therapy, pain relievers, stretching, hot compresses and other non-invasive treatments.

Some physicians also recommend alternative treatments for bulging disc including:

Yoga
Acupuncture
Bio-feedback
And more

If these treatments and more traditional approaches prove ineffective, surgery may be considered. LSI’s minimally invasive procedure offers an exciting alternative to open-back surgery. Our procedures are conducted on an outpatient basis, don’t require general anesthesia, and are generally safer and easier to recover from than traditional surgeries.
