Summus laser for disc bulges

Vertebral discs serve as a padding in between the bones (vertebrae) in your neck and back. They allow you to bend, twist and extend in all directions. Over time, disc bulges can develop. Disc bulges are very common. In fact, 50% of people under 60 have at least one disc bulge, and 75% of people over 60 have at least one disc bulge. Disc bulges can cause pain, numbness down the legs or arms, sharp stabbing pains, and muscle spasms in the immediate area. Disc bulges are not usually caused by trauma, but are more likely to develop after repetitive movements and activities. It is believed that disc bulges are part of the natural aging process of the spine. Here at Laser Center of Louisville we have specific settings on our class IV Summus laser to handle neck and back disc bulges of all types.
