Laser treatments for herniated discs are a relatively new type of procedure and come with risks and rewards. Laser therapies can offer a minimally-invasive way to treat the condition, but it is important to consider potential side effects as well as possible outcomes.
Pain relief may not occur immediately after the laser treatment, but may last more than a year depending on the severity of the herniation and how successful the treatment was. Long-term relief is therefore not guaranteed and there would be risks involved in using this type of therapy. On the other hand, many patients who have had this procedure have reported significant improvement in their pain levels and regained functionality.
Ultimately, it's important for patients to discuss with their doctor regarding the best approach for treating their particular issue, so that they can understand both risks and rewards before making a decision about taking part in any form of laser therapy.
