EDISCSCULPTWhen the herniation presses against the spinal cord or nerve roots, symptoms develop, including back pain, limb pain, numbness in the limbs, and muscle weakness.
Treatment in New York City
When you look for a herniated disc doctor, look for one who's dedicated to using minimally invasive procedures to treat the condition. While surgery sometimes isn't necessary at all, it's important to know that your doctor will avoid invasive open spine procedures if it is needed. Epidural steroid injections and laser spine surgery are two important examples of modern, minimally invasive treatments for common spine conditions.
Laser spine surgery can be used to treat herniated discs in the following way:
- An endoscopic camera is inserted to view the affected disc
- A probe is inserted into the disc
- The probe emits laser energy, which dissolves a small portion of the disc
- The disc reabsorbs the herniation
- Symptoms are relieved, and patients walk out of the office pain-free
There is no hospital stay when laser back surgery is used to treat herniated discs, and there is no need to go under general anesthesia; local anesthesia and a light sedative are sufficient. In contrast, the recovery for traditional spine surgery is long, and the procedure requires a general anesthesia and a hospital stay of several days.
