A New Tool to Treat Disc Problems

A new tool to be used for slipped or herniated discs is a laser. The laser is placed through a small hole in the skin and then it is guided with a tiny video camera into the slipped or herniated disc where it can repair the problem. The treatment is still in an experimental faze but it's an exciting and important advance in medical technology for the treatment of slipped discs. The best thing is that this type of laser surgery offers the same presently available surgical treatment in a less invasive and potentially less risky manner.
