Percutaneous Discectomy or Disc Decompression
This procedure helps patients who suffer from low back pain caused by a
herniated or bulging disc and who have not responded to conservative treatments.
With percutaneous discectomy, doctors use radio waves to dissolve excess
tissue and reduce the size of the bulge. This relieves the pressure inside
the disc and on the nerves. Once the pressure is eliminated, the symptoms
disappear.
