Intervertebral disc consists of the pulp nucleus and fibrous ring. Incorrect movements, systematic spine overloads, connected with professional activities, lifting heavy weights (especially in front positon) or chronic spine injuries may cause small dics cracks and lead to pulp nucleus diverticulum (extrusion).This phenomenon is diagnosed as intervertebral disc hernia. In the course of time the hernia may grow in size and start entraping spinal nerve roots. Such abnormality is usually acompanied by acute pain which may echo in one or two legs. Conservative treatment of the disease has proven to be ineffective, that is why patients are often recommended an operation.

However, recent clinical experience clearly shows that open surgery should be considered as the least desirable option in treating intervertebral disc hernia. Very often operated hernias are followed by serious complications which do not allow patients to get rid of pain symptoms.

МETHOD OF SPINAL CATHETERIZATION

The specialists of our center have had over 4-year experience of treating intervertebral disc hernia with the help of A NON-OPERATIVE METHOD mastered during their studies in Germany.

The healing effect in applying this method is a result of an absolutely secure procedure of the hernia dehidration. In most cases patients begin to feel much better right after completing the course of treatment (4-5 days).

Full recovery period for patients with no serious neurological complications is 2-3 weeks. Further rehabilitation and preventative therapy includes a complex of a specially designed physical exercises aimed to develop spinal muscular system.

PERCUTANEOUS LUMBAR DISCECTOMY

We have always been in search of new technological advancements in optimising disc hernia treament options.

We have been the first in Ukraine to apply the method of PERCUTANEOUS LUMBAR DISCECTOMY PROBE, designed by "STRYKER INTERVENTIONAL PAIN".

Now there is a new option for patients suffering from low back and leg (radicular) pain due to contained disc herniations, especially for those who have failed conservative treatments and are interested in trying minimally invasive options prior to considering traditional back surgery.

The DECOMPRESSOR lumbar discectomy probe is performed under X-ray using local anesthetic and is much less invasive than the traditional surgical trreatments.

INDISPUTABLE ADVANTAGES OF THE DESCRIBED METHODS ARE:

low traumatism

immediate healing effect

high reliability and predictability

application simplicity and relative cheapness

low risks of hernia recurring in the future

In most cases intervertebral disc hernia develops in the result of systematic spine overloads. When lifting or carrying heavy objects try to keep your back in the vertical position. Doing so, you can be sure that the weight is evenly spread over all parts of the skeleton.

Avoid lifting heavy weights with your spine crooked!
