Ruptured Disc Surgery
Ruptured disc surgery alternatives from Laser Spine Institute have helped tens of thousands of patients worldwide find relief from neck and back pain. Performed on an outpatient basis and utilizing state-of-the-art laser technology, our procedures offer many advantages over open back and neck surgery, including shorter recovery times as well as a lower risk for infection and other complications.
Open Back or Neck Surgery
Open spine surgery for a ruptured disc typically involves the removal of bone tissue to reach the affected disc, removal of some or all of the damaged intervertebral disc, and the fusion of the adjacent vertebrae. These highly invasive operations can present a number of complications, risks, and disadvantages, including:
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Hardware rejection
- Infection
- Lengthy recuperations
- Large scars
- The need for additional surgery
- And more
When to Consider Treatment at Laser Spine Institute
The endoscopic procedures performed at Laser Spine Institute are safe and effective alternatives to open neck or open back ruptured disc surgery. Our procedures are typically recommended for patients who have found little to no relief from non-invasive ruptured disc treatment methods. If conservative and alternative treatments – such as pain medication, corticosteroid spinal injections, hot/cold therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, restorative yoga, and massage therapy – have proven ineffective, contact Laser Spine Institute. If you are located in Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, or other areas in the Southwest, Laser Spine Institute Scottsdale can provide you with a complimentary consultation, including a review of your MRI or CT scan. Laser Spine Institute also has several medical consultation facilities and surgery centers in convenient locations nationwide to serve you.
