Steve is a 58-year-old man who had surgery 2 years ago to fix his sciatica. His sciatica came back a year later. He also had lumbar stenosis (aka a pinched nerve) and bone spurs. Nothing seemed to work: Physical therapy, chiropractors, and injections all failed. Steve learned about Dr. T’s cutting-edge same-day surgery and has never felt better!

Herniated Disc Symptoms
Symptoms of a herniated disc vary widely and are determined by where the problem area is located within the spine. Sometimes, patients may exhibit no outward signs of a ruptured disc at all. When the disc begins to strain a nearby nerve, however, typical symptoms called “Sciatica” but additional symptoms include:
- Dull, achy pain or sharp, intense pain
- Muscle tightness and cramping
- Radiating pain through the down the legs
- Tingling sensations through the legs or down the foot
- Weakness in the affected area and limbs
- Lower back pain that gets worse when you sit, cough or sneeze
What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy is a surgical procedure on the lumbar spine performed with the help of a surgical microscope and microsurgical techniques. This surgery requires only a very small incision, and it removes only the portion of the ruptured disc which pinches the spinal nerve roots.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy is recommended for patients who have leg pain that limits normal daily activities, weakness or numbness in legs or feet, and impaired bowel or bladder function. This surgery is suggested when the above symptoms are caused by pressure on the spinal cord, spinal nerves or nerve roots. The pressure may be caused by the intervertebral disc or bone materials.
Many patients who suffer from sciatica, referred pain down either legs, and/or low back pain may be a candidate for this procedure. This procedure can also help in relieving pain associated with spinal stenosis and low back arthritis.
