Bulging Disc Treatments at Laser Spine Institute: Our Procedures Offer Proven Relief from Back Pain

Bulging Disc Treatments at Laser Spine Institute: Our Procedures Offer Proven Relief from Back Pain

One of the most common causes of chronic back pain is a bulging disc, which is also called a slipped disc or a ruptured disc. No matter what you call this condition, it can cause extreme pain in the legs, arms, back, and neck. Interestingly, when you suffer from a bulging disc, it is not the disc itself that hurts. Instead, the discomfort comes when the bulge in the disc presses upon nerve roots in the spine. This pressure can signal pain in various parts of the body, or it can interrupt nerve signals and cause tingling, numbness, and weakness in the arms and legs.

Therefore, to get rid of the symptoms, you have to get rid of the bulge of a bulging disc. The standard treatment for extreme cases of bulging disc used to be open back surgery which meant a hospital stay, long recovery times, and higher risk. Today, however, Laser Spine Institute has perfected a minimally invasive procedure that can relieve the pressure off the spinal cord, giving patients fast relief from the electric shock pain and terrible weakness they have been experiencing.
