Advanced Non-Surgical Relief for Slip Disc & Back Pain

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated (slipped) discs and chronic back pain without open surgery.

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated (slipped) discs and chronic back pain without open surgery. It uses laser energy to reduce pressure inside the affected disc, relieving nerve compression and pain. PLDD is especially beneficial for patients suffering from conditions like Herniated Disc and Sciatica, offering quick relief with minimal downtime. At Stork Multispecialty Hospital, Hyderabad, our pain management and spine specialists use advanced image-guided PLDD techniques to provide safe, effective, and faster recovery solutions.
