What is Laser Lumbar Hernia Treatment?
Laser herniated disc treatment is a minimally invasive, modern approach to the treatment of pain associated with herniated discs. This treatment is based on the principle of vaporizing or shrinking the contents of the herniated disc with laser energy. Laser treatment is much less invasive than traditional open surgery and allows patients to recover in a shorter time. Laser treatment is generally preferred in cases where the herniated disc causes pain by pressing on the nerves.

How to Treat Lumbar Hernia with Laser?
Laser herniated disc treatment is a procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. As this treatment is minimally invasive, it is performed without large incisions. During the procedure, laser energy is directed through a needle directly into the herniated disc. By vaporizing the contents of the disc, the laser reduces pressure on the nerves and relieves pain. The laser treatment consists of the following steps:

1. Preparation and Anesthesia:
   The patient is usually anesthetized with local anesthesia. Patients can stay awake during the procedure and do not feel any pain.
2. Treatment with Laser:
   Through a needle, the laser device is guided towards the herniated disc. The laser energy vaporizes the contents of the disc, removing pressure on the nerves.
3. Recovery Process:
   After laser treatment, patients can usually be discharged the same day and experience a significant reduction in pain levels. The treatment process, supported by physical therapy or other rehabilitation methods, accelerates recovery.

Conditions and Symptoms Requiring Laser Lumbar Hernia Treatment
Laser treatment may be recommended in the following cases:

• Low Back Pain Long-standing low back pain that does not go away with medication.
• Nerve Pressure: The herniated disc presses on the nerves, causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in the legs.
• Movement Restriction: Difficulty or limitation of movement in daily activities due to pain.

Treatment Methods
Other treatment methods used in the treatment of herniated disc with laser may be as follows:

• Physical Therapy: After laser treatment, patients can strengthen their muscles and increase their flexibility with physical therapy.
• Medication Therapy: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and muscle relaxants can be used to control pain.
• Epidural Steroid Injections: Local steroid injections can be given to relieve pain.
