EDISCSCULPTConditions in the cervical spine, or the neck, have the potential to be more severe than any other area of the spine. The spinal cord is home to millions of nerves that send signals to and from every part of the body; as the spine goes down, the nerves branch off, so that the cervical spine has many nerves, going to all parts of the body, while the lowest part of the spine only has nerves going to the pelvis and legs. Cervical spine conditions can cause symptoms almost anywhere in the body. In extreme cases, symptoms may be progressive and eventually lead to severe issues like paralysis.

A bulging disc occurs when one of the vertebral discs becomes misshapen, potentially pressing against the nerves in the spine. Out of all spine conditions, bulging discs are one of the most common - in fact, many people have asymptomatic bulging discs that they don't know about until it's revealed during a medical scan. On the other hand, some people with bulging discs experience symptoms that affect their quality of life, and even their overall health in rare cases.

If you undergo any surgery, no matter how minor, you are likely to miss at least a small amount of work. With laser back surgery, the recovery time is only about a quarter as long as that of traditional back surgery. However, patients will still need to miss some work.
Timeline
Most patients with desk jobs can expect to take about a week off of work after having laser spine surgery. As long as no complications are experienced, that is enough time for patients to regain their mobility and return to work pain-free.

The spine is one of the most delicate and essential parts of the body. Almost all communication between the brain and the rest of the body passes through the spinal cord, which means that spinal injuries, conditions, or diseases can cause symptoms ranging from pain to muscle weakness to numbness, and severe problems like paralysis and death, depending on the nature and severity of the condition.
