Bulging Disc Pain Can Often Be Relieved at Laser Spine Institute

Like many back and neck ailments, bulging disc pain is caused by nerve compression. In the case of a bulging disc, that compression occurs when the outer wall of a disc weakens and the gel-like center presses the wall hard enough to create a bubble that juts into the spinal canal. The bubble presses on nerve tissue, and the result is pain, numbness, tingling and weakness at the site of the affected disc and potentially in other body parts where that nerve travels. If you experience these types of symptoms, you may have tried a variety of conservative treatments—including physical therapy, over-the-counter medications, hot and cold compresses, chiropractic care, and more—with little to no pain relief. If that’s the case, you should consider a procedure at Laser Spine Institute (LSI).

The endoscopic bulging disc pain treatments we offer here have a number of advantages over the traditional open-back surgery your doctor may be recommending, including:

No hospitalization. LSI’s procedures are conducted at an outpatient surgery center.
No large incision. The opening in your back or neck through which our procedures are conducted is only about one centimeter long, and we use a narrow tube to reach your bulging disc.
Lower risk of infection. Because the incision is so small and the procedure doesn’t take place in a hospital, there is a much smaller chance that you’ll develop an infection following a procedure at LSI.

There are a wide variety of other benefits as well, but the most important one is our success rate. More than 85% of our patients say they have an increased quality of life with three months of the surgery.

If you’d like to consider a treatment from LSI to relieve your bulging disc pain, contact us today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI free of charge.
