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

Minimal or no incision
Less pain after the procedure
Fast recovery

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.
