ABSTRACT
Cervical disc herniation is characterized by breakage of disc material into the spinal canal leading to various symptoms such as arm and neck pain, paresthesias and movement limitations. Current options for pain management include drug therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture and surgical care. Alternative spinal decompression therapy achieves clinical effectiveness in reducing pain, disability and improving quality of life.
A total of 30 patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation were randomized into two groups. Each patient underwent nine treatment sessions of conventional therapy along with cervical stability exercises. Patients within the experimental group additionally underwent treatment with spinal decompression device.
Patients who, in addition to conventional rehabilitation, also completed spinal decompression treatment program (blue) experienced 19% better improvement in Neck Disability Index and 24% higher enhancement in terms of pain than those who underwent only stand-alone conventional rehabilitation (red).Patients who, in addition to conventional rehabilitation, also completed spinal decompression treatment program (blue) experienced 19% better improvement in Neck Disability Index and 24% higher enhancement in terms of pain than those who underwent only stand-alone conventional rehabilitation (red).
Spinal decompression therapy as a part of conventional physiotherapy program proved to have a significant impact on pain and disability enhancement in patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation.

Although conservative treatment is the first choice for patients with lumbar disc herniation symptoms, in the case of sciatica, progressive neurological deficits and confirmation of extensive herniation from MRI, surgical intervention is indicated.
As neurological conditions are considered the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide, it is necessary to respond to their increased burden by introducing new medical technologies enabling safe, effective and time-saving rehabilitation.
Low-level (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HIL) can be beneficial additions to knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rehabilitation exercises
