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.

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.
