Laser Treatment for Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when an intervertebral disc slips out of its normal position and may press on nearby nerves. This condition commonly affects the lumbar spine, particularly at levels L4-L5 and L5-S1. It typically results from age-related disc degeneration, prolonged sitting, improper lifting techniques, or spinal trauma from accidents.

Recognizing Symptoms of Herniated Disc

Lower Back Pain

A dull or sharp pain in the lower back, especially when sitting for long periods.

Radiating Pain to the Leg or Hip

Sciatic nerve-related pain that travels from the buttocks or hips down to the legs.

Numbness or Electric Shock Sensation

A tingling or electric shock-like sensation in the leg due to nerve compression.

Muscle Weakness

Feeling of leg weakness, leading to instability or tripping while walking.

Diagnosis of Herniated Disc

At S Spine & Joint Hospital, a specialized center for spine and joint care, we prioritize identifying the root cause before beginning treatment. Patients showing symptoms of a herniated disc undergo thorough evaluation, including X-ray and MRI, to assess the affected disc and any compressed nerves. This ensures that the most appropriate treatment plan is selected.

Treatment Technique

Our distinctiveness lies in our S-Quality standards—an exclusive care model at S Spine & Joint—based on three essential pillars:

Specialized Spine Surgeons

🎯 Spine specialists trained in standardized, evidence-based treatment protocols.

Expert Support Team

🎯 A skilled support team who understands the procedure and coordinates effectively with the doctor to streamline care and reduce treatment time.

Advanced Spine-Specific Technology

🎯 State-of-the-art equipment designed specifically for spine treatment, including globally recognized surgical instruments. The absence of any component may impact treatment efficiency.

Treatment Steps

We employ advanced spinal treatment technologies, including world-class surgical tools and an open MRI system that adjusts from lying to standing positions. This setup enables precise diagnosis and timely treatment. Missing any one of these elements may affect treatment outcomes.

1

Identifying the Cause

Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.

2

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Patients receive guidelines for pre-procedure preparation, such as fasting or disclosing medical history and allergies. A detailed physical examination is also conducted.

3

Laser Treatment Technique

A thin needle—just 1 millimeter wide, similar to an injection needle—is inserted into the affected disc area. Then, radiofrequency energy is applied to generate heat that shrinks the herniated portion of the disc, allowing it to retract into its normal position.

4

Follow-Up and Recovery

After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient's condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
