Back Disease Treatment Program

  • Non-surgical treatment

  • In the early acute stage, reduce activity and rest in bed for several days with a pillow under the knees and flexed hip and knee joints. If the pain is severe, use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers and muscle relaxants. If adhesions are severe, epidural neuroplasty can be performed, nerve block, and high-frequency nucleoplasty can be performed.

  • Surgical treatment

  • Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy

    It is a minimally invasive surgery with an 8mm incision using an operating microscope and cutting-edge laser equipment that magnifies the lesion area 10 to 15 times. In the case of spine surgery, the application of minimally invasive surgery is very important as the smaller the incision size, the less scarred the skin and muscles are, which helps in faster recovery.


    Minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery

    Spinal fusion surgery involves connecting and fixing the nodes into one spine to ensure reliable treatment of the spinal nodes. Firmly fixing a diseased spine requires advanced surgical techniques, including precise instrument fixation and detailed bone grafting, so the surgeon's extensive clinical experience and expertise are very important.

  • Non-surgical treatment

  • If the symptoms are not severe, anti-inflammatory painkillers and muscle relaxants may be administered, and in some cases, drugs may be used to improve symptoms by improving blood circulation within the nerves. For healing and pain control in damaged areas, extracorporeal shock wave therapy can be used to apply strong vibration stimulation to the painful area to promote blood vessel formation and promote the natural healing ability of damaged muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
    Additionally, device rehabilitation, manual therapy, and prolotherapy can be performed additionally. If symptoms are severe, epidural neuroplasty, balloon dilatation, or foraminal dilatation may be performed.

  • Surgical treatment

  • Cervical canal decompression surgery : Relieve nerve pressure by widening the narrowed spinal canal.

    Cervical fusion : Provides stability by fixing unstable cervical spine.

    Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery : Replacement of a damaged disc with an artificial disc.

  • Non-surgical treatment

  • Medication such as painkillers or muscle relaxants can be administered, and physical therapy (exercise, stretching, heat/cold packs) and manual therapy can be combined. If you usually wear a lumbar brace and the pain is severe, epidural steroid injection or nerve block may be performed.

  • Surgical treatment

  • If symptoms persist or there is neurological damage despite non-surgical treatment, spinal fusion (anterior, posterior, lateral, intervertebral), spinal decompression (surgery to widen the narrowed spinal canal to relieve pressure on the nerves), and laminectomy (surgery to relieve pressure on the vertebrae) It can be performed by removing part of the nerve to relieve pressure on the nerve.

  • Non-surgical treatment

  • Braces are used to slow or stop the progression of scoliosis in growing patients. In adults, braces can help relieve pain and maintain function. Wearing the brace is recommended for 18 to 23 hours a day and may vary depending on the situation. In addition, physical therapy and drug treatment can be combined.

  • Surgical treatment

  • If scoliosis is severe or cannot be corrected with braces and non-surgical treatments, surgery may be necessary. In general, surgery is considered if the scoliosis angle is greater than 40 degrees.

    Spinal fusion surgery : The purpose is to secure the spine to prevent further deformation from progressing, with a posterior approach (approaching the back to secure the vertebrae using metal rods, screws, hooks, etc.) and an anterior approach (approaching through the abdomen to secure the spine).

    Chiropractic surgery :To correct severe deformity of the spine, it is used to remove and reconstruct part of the deformed vertebra. After the deformed vertebra is removed, the spine is reconstructed and fixed using screws and rods.

  • Conservative treatment

  • Pharmacological treatment: Pain is relieved using painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Wearing a brace: Wearing a brace to stabilize the spine.

    Physical therapy: Physical therapy is provided to relieve pain and strengthen muscles.

  • Surgical treatment

  • Vertebroplasty : Bone cement is injected into fractured vertebrae to increase stability and relieve pain.

    Laminectomy: If nerve compression is severe, surgery can be performed to remove the compressed area and release the nerve.
