Bulging Disc Treatment at Laser Spine Institute Can Reduce Your Painful Symptoms Quickly

Bulging Disc Treatment at Laser Spine Institute Can Reduce Your Painful Symptoms Quickly

Living with bulging disc symptoms can be more than painful, they can rob you of the activities you enjoy or even a good night’s sleep.  That’s because a bulging disc, also known as a ruptured disc or a slipped disc, has degenerated to the point where tissue from the inner core protrudes into the spinal canal, putting pressure on nerves. When this occurs, pain can radiate all the way to your feet and hands, depending on where in the spine your bulging disc is located. It can make anything from sitting at your desk to gardening unbearably painful if the symptoms are bad enough. If you’re experiencing any of this pain you’ve likely gone in search of bulging disc treatment, but you may have found that the options are more invasive than you’re comfortable with. That’s because traditionally, bulging disc treatments have required open back surgery that often meant cutting through bone and muscle, leaving patients to deal with a long, arduous recovery. Complications, including infection and more back pain, are all part of that package. But today you don’t have to except those risks to return to a pain-free life. Laser Spine Institute has a better bulging disc treatment to offer.

It’s better than traditional bulging disc treatment because it:

  • Requires no hospital stay, only 4 or 5 short, out-patient visits to LSI on consecutive days.
  • Uses only one small incision to access the bulging disc.
  • Requires only local anesthesia and IV sedation, not general anesthesia.
  • Has a reduced risk of infection and other complications, making it safer for patients, even some with other medical issues.
  • Provides quick relief. Some patients experience relief while they are still on the operating table and a large percentage of LSI’s patients say they experience a better quality of life within three months of surgery.

If you’re interested in learning more about bulging disc treatment at the Florida-based Laser Spine Institute, contact us today. We will review your CT scan or MRI for free to determine if you’re a good candidate for laser spine surgery.
