Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q

Back Pain Radiating to the Leg and Numbness - Is it Dangerous if Left Untreated?

A

Radiating pain often occurs due to nerve compression, such as a slipped disc or spinal stenosis. If left untreated for a prolonged period, it could lead to weakness in the leg and may result in abnormal movements. In severe cases, it can make walking impossible. 

 

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it's important to consult with a specialist in spinal care at S Spine Hospital. We have a team of experts and utilize advanced treatment technologies (MIS) with small incisions, minimal blood loss, and quicker recovery for those who are afraid of surgery.

Q

What is MIS Treatment?

A

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a technique for treating nerve compression due to a slipped disc using a smaller endoscopic camera than traditional surgery. This method results in a smaller incision (just 0.5 cm), no large cuts, quicker recovery, and less pain. It is ideal for patients who fear surgery or have chronic conditions. This treatment requires a high level of expertise and precision, which our team has gained through extensive training.

Spinal laser treatment is used for mild spinal disorders. The laser technique helps shrink a protruding disc. It is ideal for patients with less severe symptoms who are not ready for surgery.

Q

Do All Back Pain Cases Require Surgery? What if I'm Older and Afraid of Surgery?

A

Not all back pain cases require surgery, especially if they are due to a slipped disc or spinal issue. Treatment will be based on the doctor's assessment.

At S Spine Hospital, we offer a variety of treatments beyond surgery, such as physical therapy, injections, or anti-inflammatory medication, which may be effective for certain patients. However, if surgery is necessary, our expert team will use MIS, a technique with small incisions, minimal pain, and faster recovery, making it suitable for older patients or those with existing health conditions.

Q

Do I Need X-rays and MRIs for Spinal Treatment?

A

Since every pain has a cause, treating the root cause will lead to lasting relief, rather than just addressing the symptoms. X-rays show muscle structures, while MRIs provide detailed images of the bones.

 

At S Spine Hospital, we prioritize identifying the cause of your symptoms first. Combining X-rays and MRIs allows our doctors to diagnose precisely and plan treatment accordingly.

Q

What About Leg Pain, Stiffness, or Clicking in the Knee? Is it Dangerous?

A

These symptoms may be due to knee joint degeneration or adhesions inside the knee, affecting mobility. If left untreated, it could worsen, causing difficulty walking.

 

If these symptoms persist or are chronic, we recommend seeing an orthopedic specialist at S Spine Hospital. We offer diagnostic services using X-ray and standing MRI, which clearly identify knee joint issues, helping us create the most effective treatment plan.

Q

How Do You Treat Knee Joint Problems?

A

Treatment for knee issues depends on the underlying cause and severity. Non-surgical treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, joint supplements, physical therapy to strengthen muscles, and knee injections are options. Surgery, including knee replacement or repairing knee ligaments, may be necessary for more severe cases. 

At S Spine Hospital, we thoroughly diagnose every condition using X-rays and MRIs before determining the best course of action. We offer comprehensive knee treatment options, from non-invasive to advanced surgery. Our experienced doctors use robotic surgery for greater precision and safety, allowing for quicker recovery and restoring mobility faster.  

Q

Will I Be Able to Walk Normally After Knee Replacement Surgery?

A

Typically, patients can walk close to normal after knee replacement surgery if performed by a specialist and followed by ongoing rehabilitation. Recovery is just as important as the surgery itself. 

 

At S Spine Hospital, we use the latest and most precise surgical technology to reduce recovery time. Our professional physical therapy team works closely with specialists, ensuring most patients can walk within 48 hours of surgery.

Q

How Do You Treat Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears from Sports?

A

Treatment for ACL tears depends on the severity of the injury and the patient's activity level. For mild cases or those not engaging in heavy sports, physical therapy can strengthen muscles. However, for loose knees or active individuals who want to return to sports, arthroscopic surgery to repair the ACL is the most suitable option. 

 

At S Spine Hospital, we specialize in knee ligament surgeries using MIS, which reduces injury, promotes quick recovery, and helps patients return to daily activities or sports more confidently. 

Q

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

A

Treatment costs depend on the selected treatment plan. The doctor will diagnose and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on each patient’s specific condition. 

 

Initially, patients will undergo a detailed evaluation. Costs will be based on the required diagnostic procedures and treatment options to ensure the most accurate and effective results. You can contact our contact center at 02-034-0808 for further details.

Q

Can a Slipped Disc Heal on Its Own?

A

However, statistics show that spontaneous healing is rare. If left untreated, the condition could worsen and put pressure on nerves, leading to abnormal movement or permanent disability. If you experience radiating pain, numbness, or weakness, it's important to get a thorough diagnosis and plan treatment at S Spine Hospital, where we focus on identifying the root cause and providing effective treatment options.
