Can disc bulges or disc herniations be treated with lasers?

0

No. There is no data to support that lasers provide any benefit in the treatment of disc bulges or disc herniations. Most centers using lasers also perform a standard non-laser discectomy for the bulk of their treatment. At this time, laser surgery is not an accepted method of treatment for disc bulges or disc herniations by most spinal surgeons. It is not the standard of care.
