Micro-Discectomy is a Minimally Invasive Procedure for Herniated Discs

Florida Surgery Consultant’s neurosurgeons perform micro-discectomy to treat pinched nerves in the spinal column caused by herniated or ruptured discs. Without micro-discectomy, ruptured discs can cause pressure to nerves, which leads to pain in legs, numbness, impaired bowel or bladder functions.

Herniated Disc Treatment

When deciding how to properly treat a herniated disc, it is important to come up with a procedure that best fits each patients needs, depending on the location of their pain and symptoms leading up to surgery. Choosing to go the surgical route is in your best interests when dealing with a herniated disc and pain coming up the spine.

Having the surgery earlier, rather than later stops any neurological progression and creates a healing environment for the nerve to heal properly. Without surgery in this case, nerve damage can occur and may become permanent.

There are two types of treatment for herniated discs: lumbar and cervical. Knowing which type you need or prefer helps our spine surgery team decide the best plan of action. If you are unsure of which procedure works best for your situation, that is even more of a reason for you to schedule a surgical consultation with us.

If you are still unsure of choosing surgical or nonsurgical for a herniated disc, schedule an appointment to see a specialist and find the right plan of action to stop nerve damage from occurring. Allow yourself to get help, and on the road to recovery before it is too late.
