Treatment of spinal degeneration by laser magnets

In recent years, Vinh Long Department of Health Care and Protection has applied semiconductor laser phototherapy to effectively treat spinal degenerative spine disease and heel spikes for many patients.

This is a scientific topic by Dr. Luu Thanh Keep, Deputy Head of the Department of Health Care Protection as the head of staff and a group of doctors of the implementation team, which was reported at the Central Internal Medicine Conference held in in 2011 at Thong Nhat Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City).

The Committee for Protection and Health Care of Vinh Long Provincial officials is the unit to assist the Provincial Party Committee in the protection and health care of cadres who are subject to the Central regulations on health protection and preferential policies. of the province, including many elderly people.

Through monitoring, the number of patients suffering from spinal degenerative pain and examination and treatment every year increased. Since 2007, when carrying out the scientific project 'Application of semiconductor laser phototherapy to effectively treat degenerative spine degenerative spine disease' , the Board has organized a general examination of osteoarthritis for 120 people. There are 80 radiologists who degenerate lumbar spine spine into the study of treatment with low power semiconductor laser phototherapy.

Dr. Luu Thanh Keep, deputy head of Vinh Long Provincial Department of Health Care and Protection, said that this is a non-pharmacological treatment, combining Eastern - Western medicine in the application of semiconductor laser phototherapy to treat patient. The duration of treatment is highly effective for a case of degenerative spinal pain in the lumbar spine by means of a semiconductor laser phototherapy that lasts from 2 to 3 courses (a course of 20 times), every day One-time treatment, one screening every 20-30 minutes. In particular, including treatment time to cure the disease, the duration of treatment consolidates.

Regarding equipment, now the Health Care and Protection Committee of Vinh Long is using three semiconductor laser photovoltaic devices manufactured by Professor Tran Minh Thai at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, each machine 10 tips

In the course of treating patients with semiconductor laser phototherapy there are no side effects that are harmful to the patient because the laser beam works at near infrared wave with low power without affecting blood pressure, heart rate. , blood count, liver function, sugar content, unchanged patient fat in both immediate and cumulative forms.

Due to effective treatment, the number of patients to treat soreness of the lumbar spine degeneration to the Committee for Protection of Health Care staff is increasing.

If in 2009 there were 1371 patient visits, in 2010 increased to 1507 patient turns and in 2011 increased to 2862 patients, most of them were spinal degeneration in L4-5 S1 position. Most of these patients have had lumbar pain for a long time, have been treated in a variety of ways such as using traditional medicine (hot salt, leaf leaves .) or traditional medicine acupuncture transmission, or with western medicine, relapses many times, after which the pain is much higher and should be taken to the Board for treatment.

However, to ensure patients with lumbar pain due to spinal degeneration of spine in the early stage of the disease, patients need to persevere daily, not to skip the interval.

Currently, the Health Care and Protection Department of Vinh Long Province has a project to build a Nursing Center in Truong An Commune (Vinh Long City) in the period of 2012-2014 with 60 beds, total construction cost and equipment of over VND 100 billion to expand the application of this non-medicinal treatment to effectively treat patients with lumbar pain due to spinal degeneration of spine for officials and people in the province .

It is expected that the Department of Health Care and Protection in Vinh Long Province will equip four more laser semiconductor photovoltaic machines and strengthen training and professional training for physicians to meet the demand health care for officials in the province.
