Treatment of Herniated Disc with Safe Laser

A herniated disc causes severe pain, so in addition to medical treatments, it may be worthwhile to relieve symptoms with soft laser therapy that can be performed alongside them. Using the pain-free and exceptionally easy-to-use Safe Laser technology at home, you can simply help your body with self-healing, reducing pain and supporting the regeneration process.

Herniated Disc – Recognize the Symptoms!

Between the vertebrae stacked on top of each other are so-called intervertebral discs, which consist of two main components: a fibrous ring and a soft nucleus. Intervertebral discs play an essential role in providing flexible connection between the vertebrae and ensuring spinal flexibility.

We speak of a herniated disc when the soft inner nucleus protrudes due to a rupture in the fibrous ring. Additionally, it may occur that the disc bulges before the fibrous ring ruptures – this is the condition preceding a herniation. Unfortunately, the symptoms are painful in both cases, but they may vary depending on the section of the spine.

Possible symptoms:

• Sharp pain that radiates toward the extremities,
• Sensory disturbances in the extremities,
• Changes in reflexes,
• Unusual muscle weakness,
• Gait disturbances.

What Can Cause a Herniated Disc?

Although patients often experience that a single wrong movement suddenly triggers the problem, it is actually a slowly developing condition caused by natural wear of the cartilage. However, those who engage in intensive but unsupervised sports, as well as people with significant excess weight, are more susceptible to the condition. Herniated discs most commonly develop in the lumbar and cervical spine sections.

Alleviating Herniated Disc Symptoms with Soft Laser Therapy

Treatment methods for herniated discs include both non-surgical, conservative treatment and surgical intervention. Anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy can be used to reduce pain, but home use of Safe Laser devices can also provide effective assistance.

For more severe pain and advanced herniated discs, the Safe Laser 1800 may be the best choice, while for minor inflammation, the Safe Laser 500 may be optimal. Using the device is pain-free in both cases: the patient simply needs to hold the device over the area to be treated, once or twice daily for a maximum of ten minutes. Home therapy takes approximately three to four weeks, during which symptoms can be gradually reduced and regeneration improved.
