Laser therapy and laminectomy each have their unique indications. Here’s a breakdown of who can benefit from laser therapy and who may still require laminectomy:
Laser Therapy:
Patients with early-stage spinal conditions or mild to moderate symptoms
Individuals seeking a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment option
Those who prefer shorter recovery periods and reduced risks associated with surgery
Candidates with specific conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica
Laminectomy:
Patients with more advanced or severe spinal conditions
Individuals with significant nerve compression or spinal instability
Cases where conservative treatments, including laser therapy, have not provided sufficient relief
Complex or specialized cases requiring extensive decompression or stabilization procedures
