Laser
With advancements in medicine and the availability of the latest non-surgical techniques for treating disc herniations, such as radiofrequency coblation and laser disc decompression, our center offers various types of lasers to treat many diseases. However, Dr. Mohammed prefers a specific type of laser called Plasma coblation
Disc Protrusion: Percutaneous Endoscopic Disc Nucleoplasty
Many patients with back pain show no clear indication of a herniated disc. Using spine MRI, protrusion of the intervertebral discs can be diagnosed. This protrusion can put pressure on nerves or the spinal cord and can cause persistent chronic back pain. Normally this kind of back pain responds well to conservative treatment options. If after six weeks, conservative treatment has not been successful, your spine doctor should consider an intradiscal procedure: The disc protrusion can be reduced by treating the liquid core of the disc simply by using a fine needle. This needle allows a radiofrequency instrument to enter the core of the disc, thereby avoiding all the surgical risks associated with open back surgery. This is essentially the principle of Nucleoplasty.
Certainly not, some cases must be treated surgically, and the most appropriate technique for the patient is determined through a medical examination and the presence of imaging studies.
No, it is necessary to make a reservation through a phone call or social media messages.
There are no risks or side effects associated with non-surgical pain interventions.
The patient needs only 3 to 4 days before they can travel comfortably, and the hospital stay does not exceed 6 to 8 hours.
A condition cannot be accurately assessed and a proper medical diagnosis made without a medical examination and recent imaging studies.

Certainly, obesity is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis.
Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.
Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.
If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.
The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.
The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.
Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.
Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
