Herniated Disc Surgery at Laser Spine Institute Frees Ruth Meyer from Back Pain
Nov 6th
Before her herniated disc surgery, Ruth Meyer had been in pain for more than 6 months. She tried conservative treatments such as nerve blocks, physical therapy and pain medication, but experienced no relief. She was forced to quit her job as a result of the pain and fell into depression. Soon after, she found Dr. St. Louis and Laser Spine Institute where she received minimally invasive, endoscopic herniated disc surgery that changed her life. This is Ruth’s story.
Can a previous surgery on a herniated disc cause another disc to herniate??
Oct 28th
I’ll be sweet and short here.
I had surgery on my L5-S1 where the disc was removed as much as possible a couple years ago. Do you think this could cause the L4-L5 to herniate as well due to instability and/or wear/tear?
Herniated Disc Surgery on Olympic Gymnast
Aug 9th
Scott is one of the top gymnasts in the world. He suffered a herniated disc in a training accident. He went to Dr. Delamarter who rebuilt his back with the pedicle screw, which is sometimes used as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery, it provides a means of gripping a spinal segment. The screws themselves do not fixate the spinal segment, but act as firm anchor points that can then be connected with a rod. The screws are placed at two or three consecutive spine segments (eg lumbar segment 4 and 5) and then a short rod is used to connect the screws. This construct prevents motion at the segments that are being fused. The treatment allowed Scott to compete for the next Olympics within one year.

How long for recovery for my herniated disc surgery?
Jul 7th
I am 24 and have been dealing with this pain for 9 years.. finally had an MRI and saw the results… 2 herniated discs EXTREMELY protruding into my spinal fluid. (L4 & L5 area) The surgeon said for someone my age he would never do surgery but its my only option at this time…its 45 minutes, small incision, and he said im up and walking and home that night.
-is recovery really this quick?
-did you really not feel pain after? if so long long did it last?
-did you need a catheder for surgery? (im a chicken)
please only respond if you or someone you know has had this type of surgery
