New Patient Existing Patient Refer a PatientNot all incidents of disc herniation require surgical intervention. Quite frequently, patients find relief in more conservative options that can include a combination of over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (known as NSAIDs), rest, and physical therapy.
If these treatments are ineffective, your spine surgeon may prescribe narcotics or steroidal injections to help ease the pain and encourage healing. If you experience a worsening of symptoms or your symptoms are not alleviated by these more conservative options, your Long Island spine surgeon may recommend surgery for your herniated disc.
The pain you experience as a result of disc herniation is a product of the herniated disc coming into contact with the spinal nerve. Removing a portion of the disc that is coming into contact with the spinal nerve to alleviate your pain is one surgical option. Removing the pressure from the nerve will remove the source of the pain and allow your body to begin to heal.
