Product Details
Portable diode laser therapy equipment for back pain and herniated
disc
When should consider minimally-invasive PLDD procedure
The PLDD procedure is specifically designed and developed for the
cervical and lumbar indications, including:
Cervical problems
One or more cervical disc herniations
Neck pain, shoulder pain, bilateral numbnesss,
dizziness and other symptoms.
Lumbar problems
Restrictive disc on CT or MRI
No intervertebral calcification, free, prolapse
Straight leg elevation test positive
Six weeks of conservative treatent is invalid
The principle of PLDD
In this procedure, laser energy is transmitted through a thin
optical fiber into the disc. The aim of PLDD is to vaporize a small
portion of the inner core. The ablation of a relatively small
volume of the inner core results in an important reduction of
intra-discal pressure, thus inducing reduction of disc herniation.
PLDD is the minimally-invasive medical procedure developed by Dr.
Daniel S.J. Choy in 1986 that uses a laser beam to treat back and
neck pain caused by a herniated disc.
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is the utmost
minimally invasive percutaneous laser technique in the treatment of
the disc hernias, cervical hernias, dorsal hernias (except for the
segment T1-T5), and lumbar hernias. The procedure uses the laser
energy to absorb the water within the herniated nucleus pulposus
creating a decompression.
The PLDD treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using only
local anesthesia. During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted
into the herniated disc under x-ray or CT guidance. An optical
fiber is inserted through the needle and laser energy is sent
through the fiber, vaporizing a tiny portion of the disc nucleus.
This creates a partial vacuum which draws the herniation away from
the nerve root, thereby relieving the pain. The effect usually is
immediate.
