Orthopedics and Traumatology I Spine Surgery
Do you often feel the need to stop and rest while walking? Or does that uncomfortable pain in your legs ease when you lean forward? If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be experiencing what is commonly known as osteoarthritis but is medically termed spinal stenosis. This condition, which we often encounter with advancing age, is not an inevitable fate that must lower your quality of life.
Almost all of us heard the warning “Stand up straight!” as children. However, with today's generation glued to computer screens and constantly looking at their phones, this warning has taken on much greater significance. In medical literature, kyphosis, commonly known as “hunchback,” can mean much more than just an aesthetic concern. So, is that curvature you see in the mirror just a bad habit, or is it a spinal deformity that requires treatment?
When people hear the term “spinal surgery,” many imagine large scars running the length of the back, weeks of bed rest, and a painful recovery process. However, this frightening picture is now a thing of the past. Developed at the intersection of medicine and technology, our Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery is a revolutionary approach that offers our patients “maximum comfort” and “minimal tissue damage.”
Spending the whole day staring at a computer screen, constantly bending our heads over smartphones... These habits brought about by modern life put serious strain on our necks, the most mobile and delicate part of our spine. The neck pain we often dismiss as “the air conditioner hit me” or “I slept wrong” may actually be a sign of nerve compression extending all the way to your arms and fingertips, i.e., cervical disc herniation.
Back pain, which nearly every adult experiences at some point in their life, is not always just a simple muscle strain. Sometimes this pain is a sign of a herniated disc, which can seriously reduce quality of life and limit mobility. However, contrary to popular belief, not every herniated disc requires surgery, and with the right treatment methods, our patients can fully regain their health.

Scoliosis (Spinal Curvature)
Have you ever noticed that one of your child's shoulders is lower than the other? Or that their clothes don't fit properly? Sometimes mistaken for simply "poor posture" or "hunching", these situations may actually be the first signs of scoliosis, a three-dimensional deformity of the spine. When detected early, this condition can be successfully managed, but if neglected, it can lead to serious health problems.
