Lumbar Discectomy

At Precision Pain and Spine Institute, we specialize in advanced surgical solutions to relieve back pain and improve spinal function. Lumbar discectomy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove the portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on nearby nerves, helping to alleviate pain, weakness, and numbness in the lower back and legs.

What Is Lumbar Discectomy?

A lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves caused by a herniated or damaged disc in the lower spine. This procedure aims to eliminate pain and restore mobility, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with minimal discomfort.

Common conditions treated with lumbar discectomy include:
  1. Herniated lumbar discs
  2. Sciatica
  3. Spinal stenosis
  4. Degenerative disc disease
  5. Nerve impingement

The Precision Pain and Spine Institute team utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to ensure a safe and effective procedure with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Lumbar Discectomy

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the lower back to access the affected disc. Advanced imaging technology guides the surgeon in precisely removing the damaged portion of the disc. This approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues and promotes a faster recovery.

Most lumbar discectomy procedures are performed outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day. Recovery times may vary, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few weeks.
