We first try conservative treatment and non-surgical treatment. If there is no improvement despite all the nonsurgical interventions, we conduct spine surgery(procedure) for the patient. We have been maintaining our principle of 'phased and comprehensive spinal treatment'

Through five steps of diagnostic system, we could find the lesion precisely and offer appropriate and comprehensive treatment plan.

<Non-surgical treatment>

We find the exact cause of pain, and provide the most suitable and personalized non–surgical treatment for each patient. Non-surgical treatment includes nerve block therapy, physical therapy and other complementary therapies. These treatments reduce the pain, inflammation and muscle spasms and help strengthen muscles. These treatments aim to alleviate symptoms consistently by re-educating movements of muscles.
