Case report: Association of laser and magnetotherapy with iPRF for treatment of herniated disc

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the main causes of pain and disability, affecting 1% to 5% of the adult population, especially between 30 and 50 years of age. Conservative treatments include corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy, with surgery being reserved for refractory cases. Surgical complications are possible, including pain and neurological sequelae. This study presents the clinical case of an extrusive disc herniation in a 49-year-old patient, treated with orthobiologicals (iPRF), superpulsed laser and pulsed magnetic field, resulting in symptom improvement and total remission of the hernial process confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The association between a minimally invasive approach proved to be effective, suggesting the feasibility of using combined therapies to treat disc herniations with remarkable clinical improvement in two months, without surgical risks and hospital costs. The synergy between iPRF, superpulsed laser, and pulsed magnetotherapy promotes cell recovery and inflammatory modulation.
