Microdiscectomy spine surgery is an option you can consider to restore comfort and easy movement especially when you have chronic back and neck pain due to a herniated disc. At Spine Care NJ our specialty is in the microdiscectomy surgery which is a minimally invasive surgery aimed to take pressure off nerve pressure from your spine to get long term pain relief and experience a faster recovery time.

What Is Microdiscectomy ?

Microdiscectomy is an invasive operation which creates space through a small piece of a herniated disc or damaged and beginning to compress a nerve root on the spine. With the help of tools, special devices, and microscope, the surgeon has to enter the spine with a relatively tiny incision, which causes little damage to the surrounding tissues.

This surgery is usually done on lumbar spine (lower back or cervical spine (neck), in which relief is directed to specific regions such as leg pains (sciatica), numbness, and weakness as a result of herniated disc.

  • You are looking at sciatica or pain when you shoot in the leg, or His numbness
  • There is loss of function caused by the disc pressing on a spiral nerve.
