Treatment of intervertebral hernia in Israel

Before proceeding to the treatment of intervertebral hernia, the doctor will necessarily send the patient to a comprehensive diagnostic study. In the course of research, the hernia should be directly protruding, as well as the changes and disturbances that have resulted from this protrusion.

What diagnostic procedures a doctor can prescribe:

• radiopaque myelography - determines the condition of the canal of the spine and directly of the spinal cord;
• research of potentials of skeletal musculature (EMG) - determines the state and innervation of muscles;
• methods of computer and magnetic resonance imaging - a layered image of the surrounding area, allowing to consider the hernia in more detail.

Based on the results of the research, the doctor selects the most appropriate scheme of treatment for hernia of the spine. Such treatment in Israel is carried out using all sorts of the most advanced methods of therapy and surgery. In some cases, it is possible to provide treatment with conservative and minimally invasive techniques, but in some situations, it is indispensable without surgical intervention.

Before the main method of treatment is chosen, the doctor will necessarily talk with the patient and his relatives, talk about the intricacies of treatment and the need for certain procedures.

Methods of treating hernia in Israel

We list the most advanced methods of treating hernia in Israel.

1. The method of radio-frequency radiation is one of the new methods that allows treating a patient in a day hospital. Directed radio emission generating painful impulses is used. Procedure: In the projection of a hernia, the doctor enters two needles through which he injects an anesthetic. After the action of anesthesia through the same needles, the doctor emits radiation destroying the nerve roots. The procedure for radio-frequency exposure is considered to be quite serious and long-lasting: the course of such treatment is approximately 8 weeks.
2. The nucleotomy method is a minimally invasive surgical operation, which is performed using an endoscope or laser. Provides for minimal tissue trauma.
3. Operative spondylodesis is a surgical operation to connect two adjacent vertebrae after removal of the disrupted intervertebral disc. The place of the disc usually occupies an implant, artificial, or obtained from natural bone tissue.
4. Operative removal of the intervertebral disc - can be performed as a standard surgical intervention, or minimally invasive discectomy.
5. Treatment of a hernia without surgery is one of the treatment options, it is used only in the initial stages of the hernial process and, as a rule, does not eliminate the problem radically. The method includes the use of physical procedures, exercise therapy, stretching of the spinal column, thermotherapy, massage procedures, analgesic injections and anti-inflammatory drugs.
