Conditions that can be Treated with Lumbar Discectomy Surgery

Lumbar discectomy surgery is commonly performed to address various conditions affecting the lumbar spine, including:
  • Herniated discs: When a disc in the lower back becomes damaged or bulges out of place, it can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness.
  • Degenerative disc disease: As the spinal discs naturally wear down over time, it can cause chronic back pain and limited mobility.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can exert pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in pain, tingling, and difficulty walking.
  • Sciatica: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause radiating pain from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg.
Lumbar discectomy surgery is tailored to each specific condition, aiming to relieve pressure on the affected nerves, reduce pain, and restore functionality. However, considering alternative treatments like laser therapy can provide a less invasive and equally effective solution for these conditions, helping individuals find relief without the need for surgery.
