A protuberant lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. The study found that between 70% and 85% people suffer from back pain.
Hernias cause various pathological changes in the spine, such as necrosis, swelling and inflammation. In recent years high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has become a popular method treatments of various musculoskeletal disorders.
HILT uses a high-intensity laser to stimulate tissue and provide benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects and pain reduction.
Study confirms the effectiveness of HILT in the therapeutic process, patients experienced greater functional improvement and pain reduction. The results suggest that HILT can contribute to pain relief associated with protuberances and hernias.
However, it should be remembered that the study had a limited number of participants and further studies are needed to confirm the results. Research should also focus on understanding the mechanisms of action of HILT and the optimal parameters and duration of therapy. Nonetheless, HILT appears to be a promising treatment that accelerates functional improvement and reduces pain in patients.
