Laser Treatment for Herniated Disc

Laser Treatment for Herniated Disc

What Is Laser Treatment for Herniated Disc? Laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pain caused by herniated discs in the lower back or neck.

It involves inserting a thin needle into the disc and using laser energy to reduce pressure inside the disc, which helps relieve pressure on nearby nerves.

How Does It Work?

When a disc herniates, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain.
Laser treatment works by:

·       Reducing the internal disc volume

·       Lowering pressure inside the disc

·       Relieving nerve compression

·       Improving symptoms

Result: Pain relief without open surgery.


Who Is It Suitable For?

Laser treatment is ideal for patients who:

·       Have mild to moderate disc herniation

·       Experience persistent back or neck pain

·       Did not improve with conservative treatments

·       Prefer to avoid traditional surgery


How Is the Procedure Performed?

·       Performed under local anesthesia

·       A fine needle is inserted under imaging guidance

·       Laser energy is applied to reduce disc pressure

·       The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes

·       No hospital stay is typically required

·       Patients can return to daily activities quickly


Benefits of Laser Treatment

No open surgery
 Minimal or no incision
 Less pain after the procedure
 Fast recovery
 Lower risk
 Suitable for both neck and back


Can It Replace Surgery?

In many cases, laser treatment can help avoid surgery.
However, in advanced cases (severe nerve compression or muscle weakness), surgery may still be necessary.

Proper evaluation is essential to choose the right treatment.


Importance of Accurate Diagnosis

Before treatment, the condition is evaluated through:

·       Clinical examination

·       MRI imaging

Accurate diagnosis ensures the best outcomes.


A Message to Patients

If you are suffering from back or neck pain,
you may not need traditional surgery.
Modern techniques like laser treatment can offer effective relief with minimal intervention.
