Where does it hurt,
and how?

Tap the symptoms that apply. We will show possible conditions and how we treat them step by step.

Treatment steps

Only as much as needed,
one step at a time

Most spine and joint pain can be treated without surgery at first. After a precise diagnosis we begin with the least invasive option and discuss the next step only after checking the results.

1STEP

Conservative & rehab

Medication, physical therapy and manual therapy first ease pain and correct posture.

  • Manual therapy
  • Shockwave (ESWT)
  • Pain physiotherapy
  • Sports rehab
2STEP

Injections & non-surgical

Medication is delivered directly to the pain source, or a thin catheter releases adhesions around the nerve.

  • Nerve block
  • Epidural neuroplasty
  • Balloon decompression
  • RF nucleoplasty
3STEP

Endoscopic treatment

Through a small incision, an endoscope removes only what is pressing on the nerve.

  • Lumbar endoscopy
  • Cervical endoscopy
  • Epiduroscopy
  • Arthroscopy
4STEP

Surgery

Only when conservative care and procedures are not enough do we decide on surgery, together as a team.

  • Robotic joint replacement
  • Artificial disc replacement
  • Microscopic spine surgery
  • Rotator cuff repair

The treatment method is decided by a specialist based on examination and imaging; not every patient follows the same steps.

A small opening,
removing only the cause

Using a high-definition endoscope, only the thickened bone, ligament or disc pressing on the nerve is removed and the narrowed canal is widened. Performed under local anesthesia with sedation, it can be considered even for older patients or those with chronic conditions after consultation.

FAQ

Frequently asked
before a consultation

I was diagnosed with a disc herniation. Do I need surgery right away?
In most cases, no. We start with conservative care and injections, and consider endoscopy or surgery only if there is no improvement after sufficient time or if neurological symptoms such as weakness or bladder problems appear.
Does spinal endoscopy require hospitalization?
Usually a short stay, with stitches removed after about a week. The exact period depends on your condition and will be explained at your visit.
Can I visit after work?
We are open until 8 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, manual therapy is available until 8 pm on weekdays, and we see patients until 1 pm on Saturdays.
Can I bring an MRI taken at another hospital?
Yes. Bringing the image CD and report helps avoid unnecessary repeat scans. We recommend additional tests only when needed.
Where can I check non-covered fees?
Non-covered items and fees are listed on the hospital’s fee page, and we explain them in advance during consultation.
