DISC HERNIATION
Disc herniation in the spine has turned to be a major cause of severe intractable pain which often necessitates surgery. With the advancements of medical science it has become possible to treat this problem with non surgical or minimally invasive techniques. These techniques produce minimal side effects when compared to surgical intervention.
With the experience of Dr. Shan Nagendra, many complicated disc herniations have been relieved by epidural injections. Other minimally invasive procedures such as Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) and radiofrequency coblation are also carried out at Penn Medical Services. These treatments require only a few hours of outpatient services.
