Spine Care
Herniated Disc Treatment
Expert diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for herniated discs in Lake Charles, Louisiana — from conservative care to minimally invasive surgery.
A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.
Dr. Burton takes a conservative-first approach to herniated disc treatment. Many patients find relief through a combination of physical therapy, medication management, and lifestyle modifications without ever needing surgery.
When conservative treatments are not sufficient, Dr. Burton offers interventional options including epidural steroid injections and, if necessary, minimally invasive surgical repair to remove the portion of the disc pressing on the nerve.
