Summary

This study looks at whether adding high-intensity laser therapy to exercise can reduce pain and improve daily function for people with a slipped disc in the lower back. About 150 adults aged 18 to 65 will be split into three groups: exercise alone, exercise plus laser, or exercise plus standard treatments like heat and ultrasound. The goal is to see which combination works best over a 3-week program.
