High-Intensity Laser Therapy for Herniated Discs
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce pain from a herniated disc in your lower back. A herniated disc is when the inner material of a spinal disc pushes out and irritates nearby nerves.
