Microdiscectomy

If you have a herniated disc with neck or leg pain that is not improving with nonsurgical measures, a microdiscectomy procedure may provide relief by removing the pressure on your pinched nerves.

Dr. Hatef makes a small incision (less than 1 inch) and removed a small amount of bone to access the herniated disc. Using the operative microscope, he removes the fragments that are causing severe nerve pain. The procedure takes less than 1 hour and patients return to home the same day. Leg or arm pain is improved without sacrificing the normal spinal motion.

If you have unrelenting pain due to a herniated disc and would like a consultation with Dr. Hatef, call today to make an appointment.
