Treatment of the spine in Israel

Often, when severe pain in the back is no longer helped by any medication, many are thinking about turning to the help of leading world experts. Treatment of the spine in Israel is carried out using the most modern techniques that restore the spine and allow the patient to live a full life without pain and motor disorders.

How does treatment begin? First of all, the patient is examined. All the necessary studies can last up to several days if the disease is severe. Mandatory, the patient conducts magnetic resonance imaging on the apparatus of the latest generation.

In Israel, you can successfully treat congenital pathologies, traumatic or inflammatory changes in the spinal column. The method and treatment scheme the doctor selects for each patient individually.

Treatment of the spine in Israel is carried out on the following pathologies:

• radiculitis;
• spondylosis;
• intervertebral hernia;
• inflammatory process in the sciatic nerve;
• osteochondrosis;
• deformation of the spine;
• injuries of the spinal column;
• Schmorl's hernia;
• degenerative changes in the spine.

Treatment of a hernia of a backbone in Israel

Patients with diagnosed spinal hernia are prescribed usual medication in combination with physical therapy for the beginning. If such therapy turns out to be ineffective, and there is no positive dynamics of the pathology, most often they resort to an operation - a discectomy.

The purpose of this operation is to eliminate the excessive pressure that the hernia exerts on the nerve endings, which causes considerable painful sensations.

The operation is offered primarily in the following situations:

• when the patient feels constant weakness in the legs, which prevents him, how to move, and just stand;
• when drug therapy for 1.5 months was not successful;
• When a hernia provokes significant pressure on the nerve;
• when the pain becomes so strong that the patient can no longer tolerate, and standard analgesics no longer help.

Surgery for hernia is performed with the use of general anesthesia. Usually, the patient is offered inhalation or intravenous anesthesia.

In order to penetrate the damaged disc, the doctor will have to remove some of the ligaments and tissues of the vertebra.

Of course, the doctor will try to save the disk, removing only its small element. If this is not possible, the disc is removed, and a special bone implant is inserted into its place, which can be made from natural human bone or from artificial materials.

After the operation, the patient can stay in the clinic for a maximum of 1-2 days, and after a month go to work. Of course, at first, a person will have to avoid physical exertion, especially on the spine. The doctor, when discharged, will acquaint the patient with a set of procedures that will help to recover more quickly after the operation and return "in line".

Disketomy is a frequent operation in Israel, which is performed when a disc falls out. If the disc is unstable, immobilization of the spine can be performed with screws or fixing the vertebrae to each other.

Methods of treatment of the spine in Israel

In Israel, many surgical procedures are performed for the treatment of the spine:

• vertebroplasty of the spinal column - the introduction through the skin of a special bone cementing substance into the affected vertebra;
• fusion of the vertebrae (fuzia) - is performed in order to exclude the movement between two specific vertebrae, which will protect against further formation of bone growths and nerve damage, and also reduce pain;
• plastic discs laser method - reconstruction of the disk by laser radiation, which promotes the growth of cartilage cells and the regeneration of the intervertebral disc;
• removal of the disc with the help of an endoscope and a microendoscope is an operation that does not require a standard dissection of the tissues, and the procedure is performed with the help of special instruments that are inserted between the vertebrae and into the intervertebral disc through small incisions;
• minimally invasive methods of treatment of compression fractures of the spine (kyphoplasty) - performed through a small puncture in the skin under local anesthesia, the operation lasts 40-60 minutes;
• radio-frequency interruption of nerve conduction - clipping of the median branch of the nerve with the help of an electric discharge, which relieves the patient of the pain syndrome;
• microsurgical interventions in the lumbar region - microdiscectomy, which is carried out through a small incision (up to 3 cm) using a special microscope and microsurgical instruments;
• transranominal fusion - removal of the degenerated intervertebral disc with instability of the spine or degeneration of discs or joints;
• installation of lumbar implant;
• method of electrothermal therapy;
• the introduction of drugs directly into the liquor system;
• cold-plasma nucleoplasty;
• korpectomy - eliminates the pain syndrome, which is caused by vertebral injury and pressure on the nerve endings, and also eliminates the deformation of the spine.

Highly qualified Israeli specialists will determine the best treatment option with minimal risk of complications for patients and the most comfortable rehabilitation period.

Reviews about the treatment of the spine in Israel

As for the reviews on the treatment of the spine in Israel, they are overwhelmingly positive.

Olya, Orenburg: For six months people in a foreign country have been taking care of the health of my back, but they have become like family to me. I want to say thank you to everyone for their literacy and good attitude to all patients without exception.

Sveta, Voronezh: Thanks to everyone who helped me put my husband Sergei on my feet. And those who organized the trip to Israel, those who met and placed us, conducted examinations, treated, looked after, thank you all. Now my husband and I are happy because we are healthy, and because we were convinced that there are decent and professional doctors in the world who really care about the health of their patients.

Anya: Only in Israel they agreed to operate my daughter with congenital problems in the spine. We went at our own risk and risk to another country, but there they accepted us as their own, they said that everything would be fine. And so it happened. Daughter now plays and sports, like all children of her age. Thank you again.

Alexander: Of course, they were afraid to fly so far, but there was a desperate situation. Now I think why I did not do this before and tortured myself so long? Here, for me, really specialists came. And after a month I'm at home, and I feel great, probably, as in my youth yet.
