Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

• Accurate Diagnosis

Achieving an accurate diagnosis is crucial in determining an appropriate treatment plan for any spinal disorder. With the support of advanced 3T MRI, our doctors are able to conduct a comprehensive and thorough assessment of each patient to obtain a full understanding of his/her condition prior to making a diagnosis.

• Advanced Interventional Treatment

To meet the varied needs of our patients, our operating rooms are equipped with technologically advanced facilities and systems that support a wide range of surgical treatments including injections, traditional surgery, and minimally invasive surgery.

• Minimally Invasive Technology

Patients may choose a minimally invasive approach for treatment of spinal disorders from degenerative spine conditions to tumors. Specialized minimally invasive surgical systems and devices offer clearer imaging and enable surgeons to perform procedures in a more targeted and precise manner.

• Wide Range of Treatment Options

With accurate diagnoses, doctors are able to recommend the most appropriate and effective treatment options to patients, which may not always involve surgery. Patients are offered clear explanations of their treatment options so that they may choose the treatment plan that best suits their needs.

Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Program
Rehabilitation is an important component of the treatment process and helps alleviate pain and restore spinal health and function. In particular, patients who have undergone surgery will experience optimal treatment outcomes if a rehabilitation program is part of their treatment plan. By designing customized rehabilitation programs for each patient, our professional and attentive physiotherapists ensure that the treatment process is safe and effective, so that patients may return to their daily activities as soon as possible and enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle.
The following services aim to facilitate recovery:

• Pain management
• One-on-one training
• Exercise for recovery and fitness
• Education and information on spine health: spinal anatomy, importance of good posture, proper body mechanics, workplace ergonomics
