Laser: A new innovation in the treatment of herniated disc.
Have you ever experienced severe back pain or numbness radiating down your legs? These could be signs of a herniated disc. Fortunately, there’s a new treatment using laser technology that allows patients to recover faster.
What is a herniated disc?
This disease occurs when an intervertebral disc slips, ruptures, or herniates, compressing a nerve and causing various symptoms such as:
-
Pain in the lower back extending to the hips or the back of the thighs.
-
Leg pain accompanied by numbness.
-
Weakness in the feet and ankles (usually on one side).
Diagnosis
The doctor will use two tests to confirm the diagnosis.
-
X-ray imaging
-
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
📚 Back pain…should I get an X-ray or an MRI?
Laser treatment: An interesting new option.
If medication and physical therapy are ineffective, your doctor may recommend laser treatment, which has several advantages.
-
Time-saving: The treatment takes only 1 hour.
-
Short recovery period: Patients only stay in the hospital for 1 day.
-
Minimally invasive: The surgical incision is only 0.5 cm in size.
-
Safe: Minimal blood loss and fast recovery.
Laser treatment methods
-
The doctor uses a small fiber optic camera inserted through a needle (the size of a blood donation needle).
-
Insert the camera into the nerve canal.
-
Laser treatment is used to remove a herniated disc and reduce nerve compression.
