Laser Disc Removal

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Spinal Disorders

“Laser disc removal or laser disc decompression is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat herniated or bulging discs in the spine. This technique relies on the use of a laser to remove a portion of the disc material between the vertebrae that is causing pain or pressure on the nerves, providing relief from symptoms associated with conditions such as sciatica, radiculopathy, and back pain caused by disc problems.
