Conditions That Can Be Treated with Lumbar Discectomy Surgery

Lumbar discectomy surgery is commonly recommended for conditions such as:

• Herniated Discs: Also known as slipped discs, these occur when the soft inner material of a disc protrudes through the outer layer, pressing on spinal nerves and causing pain.
• Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain, tingling, and weakness.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: The gradual wear and tear of the intervertebral discs, causing pain and reduced flexibility in the lower back.
• Sciatica: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, causing sharp pain that radiates down the leg.

While lumbar discectomy surgery may be effective for some individuals, others may prefer non-surgical alternatives like Class IV laser therapy to manage their condition effectively.
