At Gerling Spine Care NY, we specialize in Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy, also known as Microdiscectomy, a highly effective procedure designed to treat herniated discs in the lumbar (lower back) region. This procedure targets damaged discs that are pressing on nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and legs.
Why Choose Microdiscectomy in NYC?
If you’re suffering from lower back pain or sciatica caused by a herniated disc, Microdiscectomy offers numerous benefits, including:
- Minimally Invasive: Small incision and minimal muscle disruption, reducing pain and speeding up recovery time.
- Faster Recovery: Most patients experience a quicker recovery and can return to daily activities sooner compared to traditional open surgery.
- Effective Pain Relief: Relieves nerve compression caused by herniated discs, reducing symptoms like back pain, leg pain, and weakness.
- Targeted Treatment: A precise approach that targets only the damaged part of the disc, minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.
