Objective: To evaluate the effect of simultaneous laser beam and magnetic therapy in patients with disc herniation
Methods: During a 6 months clinical trial study, 80 patients with intervertebral disc herniation underwent a combined package of treatment including magnetic, laser beam and PRP.
Results: Average age of patients was 51.25 ± 10.7 with range of 25 - 71 years. 30 men (37.5%) and 50 women (62.5%) took part in the study. Average weight of patients was 64.3 ± 7.2 with range of 49 - 79 kg. Highest level of disc herniation was L5 - S1 with frequency of 17 cases (21.3%). Disc Herniation was severe in 30 cases before treatment, but it reduced to 3 cases after treatment.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study combined treatment using non-invasive laser beam and magnetic therapy is highly effective for patients with disc herniation.
