ABSTRACT
Chronic low back pain has become a common problem in industrialized countries. About 61%-83% of adults within younger age groups and 53%-75% in older groups experience low back pain during their lifetime.
Questionnaires of 19 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation treated with spinal decompression treatment protocol were reviewed - Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry low back pain questionnaire (ODI) as a measure of depression severity, pain perception and disability, respectively.
Significant improvement (P<0.05) of all parameters was reported after 6 treatment sessions. PHQ-9 score improved by 66.44%, VAS by 61.15% and ODI by 66.42%. Significant large positive linear relationships between depression severity and pain and between depression severity and disability were noted.
Non-invasive spinal decompression device proved to be an effective tool in treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation experiencing psychiatric symptoms of various extent in terms of disability, pain and depressive symptoms.

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
