Abstract

In the musculoskeletal system, the spine determines the life and movement of humans as well as that of all other vertebrates. The degenerative spine usually begins with damaged joints of the vertebral bodies, neck herniated disc, ligament, and then gradually occurs degeneration of the vertebrae, causing neck pain, especially when moving the neck area.
Nowadays, along with the development of the biomedical field, low-power laser therapy is more prominent in its applicability in diagnosis and treatment. This paper describes the simulation results of low-level laser propagation from the skin surface to the cervical vertebrae with four wavelengths (633 nm, 780 nm, 850 nm, and 940 nm) by the Monte Carlo method. These simulation results are the base for analyzing the impact of near-infrared light and developing a low-level laser therapy device, that could be used clinically for treating the degenerative spine.
