Advanced Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression for Disc Disorders
Understanding Disc Disorders Disc disorders are among the most common causes of chronic back pain, neck discomfort, and nerve-related symptoms. The spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, absorbing shock and allowing smooth movement. When these discs become damaged, bulge outward, or herniate, they can place pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and reduced mobility. Left untreated, disc problems may significantly affect daily activities and overall quality of life. What Is Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression? Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pressure within a damaged disc. During the treatment, a specialized laser is inserted through a thin needle into the affected disc. The laser energy removes a small portion of the disc material, reducing internal pressure and creating more space around compressed nerves. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, this technique requires ...
