Some spine injuries are caused by trauma, while others are caused by internally degenerative conditions that accompany age or some disease processes. They can include but are not limited to:

 

·         Spinal Stenosis

·         Herniated disks

·         Thinning or degenerative disks

·         Pinched nerves

·         Bone spurs

·         Sciatica

·         Spinal arthritis

 

Some of the most common spine care treatments for back conditions include:

 

Spinal Fusion – joins two vertebrae together, which helps to reduce or eliminate movement or motion between vertebrae

 

Lumbar Disc Replacement – replaces an injured or diseased disk in the lower back region

 

Cervical Disc Replacement – replaces an injured or diseased disk in the neck region

 

Laminaplasty – procedure that relieves compression of the spinal cord in the neck area of the spine

 

Laminectomy – involves removing of the lamina (top or roof of a vertebrae) from the spinal column to allow more room for the spinal cord and nerves

 

Laminotomy – involves trimming or removing some of the lamina from the spinal column

 

Spinal procedures are expensive. In the United States, a Laminectomy may cost up to $77,000, and spinal fusion may run about $115,000. However, medical travelers may save thousands of dollars on spine treatments and surgeries. In India for example, spinal fusion costs about $8,700 to $10,000 and a Laminectomy may cost around $4,500 to about $5,500.

 

The Wooridul Spine Hospital is one of the finest spine surgery centers in Seoul, South Korea offers the best spine surgery in Korea and the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan are two world-class, accredited medical facilities for spine care, offering a variety of treatments and procedures for medical travelers.

Today, spine care specialists and surgeons can perform a variety of minimally invasive spine surgery procedures on all areas of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas. Some of the most common procedures include but are not limited to:

Minimally invasive spine surgical procedures also offer treatments for microsurgical treatment of herniated discs, lumbar spinal stenosis, spinal fusion, scoliosis, compression fractures, osteoporosis, and in the treatment of spinal tumors, vertebral fractures and more.

Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is the process through which an artificial structure replaces the defective or damaged disc in the spinal column, providing support, cushioning and improvement in mobility for spinal surgery patients.

Laminectomy or laminotomy are common procedures performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. In many cases, aging of the spinal structure causes of thinning of the vertebra, especially the portion called the lamina, which protects the spinal cord. A laminectomy removes this lamina and also is used to address thickening tissue that narrows the spinal canal and causes compression of spinal nerves.

A discectomy involves the removal of herniated disc tissues that press on nerves or other portions of spinal cord. This type of procedure is very effective for individuals who have tried other options without relief and who experience and suffer from severe pain and difficulty walking, sitting, and other basic movements.

International medical facilities such as Wooridul Spine Hospital in South Korea and the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan are world-renowned, accredited and high-tech facilities for spinal care. For affordable spine care and surgery, don’t hesitate to seek international health care providers for excellent, quality care and enormous savings.
