Intervertebral disc degeneration is the main factor causing low back pain, and the related long-term treatment can improve the situation of degeneration. This study aimed to investigate the effect of low-intensity laser irradiation on the repair of degenerative intervertebral disc by two dimensional automatic active shape model (2D-AASM).
