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.

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favorably reviewed by world-renowned leaders in spine surgery and has been recognized as a better alternative to the outdated, old style of traumatic spine surgery.

Dr. Ditsworth is the Chief Neurosurgeon and Founder of Non-Traumatic Technique for disc removal.

He has treated many thousands of patients over the past 20 years. The Non-traumatic technique has an extremely high success rate!

Since there is no muscle, bone or joint trauma, this technique is tolerated by the patients much better than traumatic access disc removal techniques.
