Our spine center in Bangkok offers a range of non-surgical and surgical treatments tailored to individual needs. For less severe symptoms, non-surgical options like physical therapy and epidural steroid injections are available. Surgical interventions, such as Nucleoplasty and Minimally Invasive Surgery, are performed by our skilled professionals. Our advanced technologies, including Disc Nucleoplasty for herniated discs and endoscopic surgery for Lumbar Herniated Discs, ensure precise, effective, and minimally invasive treatments.

Non-surgical treatments: These types of treatment are suitable for those patients whose symptoms are not severe, including:

• Administering medicine orally to reduce pain and swelling
• Physical therapy
• Selective nerve root blocking
• Epidural steroid injections

Technology and Innovation in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Back Pain Treatment

• Osteoporosis tends to occur in elderly people and women at the age of menopause, although it can be due to other causes, such as the continued use of certain medications. Depending on the symptoms, there are many forms of treatment, such as a combination of medication and a back brace. In more severe cases, surgery and ‘cement injections’ (Vertebroplasty) may be used, where a replacement bone substance is injected into the vertebra to help stabilize it. The treatment takes 1-2 hours and can help relieve back pain and stop compression fractures of the spine, without any risk of heavy blood loss, due to the small incisions that are required to perform this procedure. With minimal postoperative pain and stress, patients can return home after just one night recovering in hospital.
• Radiofrequency treatment is a procedure using Disc Nucleoplasty technology, a form of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). The method uses radio waves to reduce pressure on herniated discs, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The advantage of Radiofrequency treatment is the reduced loss of blood as no major surgery is required. Treatment is very short, lasting only 20-30 minutes, with patients able to return home afterward and go about their lives as normal within 1-2 days.
• Endoscopic surgery is another form of treatment for severe Lumbar Herniated Discs which require surgery. Implementing innovative endoscopic surgery (Micro Endoscopic Surgery), this innovative procedure helps make treatment easier due to the high magnification camera. This allows surgeons to see small details clearly, thus avoiding any problems occurring with the delicate structure of the spinal cord. The benefits of this form of treatment are that the surgical incisions are small (1.8cm); the recovery time is short; and it is a highly effective, precise, and safe form of treatment. Our Center also uses a Navigator System, which is a computer-guided technology that makes analyses during surgery to assist in making the best surgical decisions possible, in real time.
