A non-traumatic discectomy can provide an effective way to remove, decompress and repair damaged discs without traumatic, permanently spine-altering surgery. It is effective, very low risk, and allows for a faster return to work and to daily activities. Patients are discharged the same day of the procedure with just a band-aid. There are no stitches with this technique if back surgery.

Only very recently have surgeons begun to experiment with less traumatic spine surgery procedures. However, the Back Institute has had over twenty years of experience in developing the field of outpatient, non-traumatic (spine friendly) surgery, equipment, and techniques. The Back Institute's specialty in non-traumatic discectomy procedures has been favorably reviewed by world-renowned leaders in spine surgery and has been recognized as a better alternative to the outdated, old style of traumatic spine surgery.
