Q: Is there any laser therapy for backache available in India?
A:There is no laser therapy for backache, as far as I know. The effect of lasers is very superficial and backache is due to deep tissue involvement, eg., muscles, ligaments and bones. Hence, I do not think laser treatment will be effective. Laser is used therapeutically only for making surgical incisions.
