Laser Therapy vs. Surgery for Disc Decompression

When it comes to treating spinal disc problems, the choice between laser therapy and surgery is critical. Both methods aim to relieve pain and improve function, but they differ significantly in approach, recovery time, and potential risks.

Surgical Methods

• Invasive procedures like discectomy or laminectomy
• Longer recovery periods and higher risk of complications

Laser Therapy Advantages

• Minimally invasive with faster recovery
• Reduced risk of infection and post-operative complications
• Focus on natural healing and pain reduction

Comparing these treatment options allows patients to make informed decisions about their spinal health, with laser therapy often providing a safer and more efficient alternative to surgery.
