Summary

To determine the effect of high-power laser therapy on the size of herniated disc and functional outcome in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.

Conditions

  • Herniated Lumbar Disc

Interventions

DEVICE

High power Laser Therapy

A total course protocol: 18 sessions, for 6 weeks ,3 sessions per week. Patients will receive High power Laser treatment. manually set to bio stimulation mode with high peak power (5 - 6 W), energy per impulse 150 mJ/c2, wavelength measuring 1064 nm, and spot beam diameter area of 1 cm2. The hand piece was positioned in contact with and perpendicular to the treated area with the patient inside lying position with knee to chest. Scanning will perform transversely and longitudinally paravertebral region on the lower lumbar area at the level of the disc concerned. Each session included three phases (fast scan, sensitive trigger points, slow scan) and had a total duration of 20 minutes. During each session, a total energy of 3000 J was applied through three phases of treatment.

DEVICE

physical therapy exercise program and hot pack

this group will receive the same selected physical therapy exercise program (45 minutes) and hot pack (10 min) for 18 session. All patients will attend the physical therapy clinic three times weekly for 6 weeks
