Abstract

This article evaluated the efficiency of complex application of low-energy laser radiation in the infrared spectrum by scanning technique using apparatus "MEDIC - 2 K" in the rehabilitation for patients with neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis vertebralis. 33 patients with neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis vertebralis of the lumbar spine were treated: the main group 18 of persons, the control group of 15 persons. In the main group, the patients received 15 laser treatments lasting 20 minutes with four irradiation fields according to acupuncture points (V26, VB30, V40, VB34). All patients were involved in therapeutic exercises according to the standardized program and continued to follow it on their own home. The results were evaluated at the end of treatment and after 3 months. The pain syndromebefore the treatment in both groups was approximately equal: in the main group it was 64.5 + 3.09%, in the control group it was – 63.67+2.60 (p> 0.05). After 3 months, the pain continued to decrease and amounted to 21.67 + 1.14% in the main group and 30.67 + 1.75% in the control group (p <0.05). The most effective program in terms of mobilization of the lumbar spine in patients with neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine is the complex program of rehabilitation, including drug therapy, physical therapy and laser therapy sessions.
