Laser Treatment Experience for Back and Neck Pain by Om Akkaphan / Actor
Laser Treatment Experience for Back and Neck Pain by Om Akkaphan / Actor
After the Songkran festival, S Spine Hospital was deeply honored when the handsome young actor visited our specialists to treat his back and neck pain.
From reviewing his medical history, it was found that Khun Om constantly works on set and often has to perform physically demanding scenes.
These are action scenes where he fights enemies and villains, which may be one of the reasons for his back and neck pain. However, he initially thought it wasn’t a serious issue and was just ordinary muscle soreness. He continued to exercise and go to the gym as usual.
However, he decided to consult a physician at S Spine Hospital to determine if the pain might be a chronic injury, so he researched information online and through social media.
He then visited S Spine Hospital, a specialist hospital for spine and nervous system treatments, and made an appointment to see a doctor.
Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor thoroughly checked his condition through imaging, sent him for an X-ray, and conducted an MRI scan. The examination took about 1.5 hours, and the results revealed abnormalities in the spine, where the nerves were being compressed by a herniated disc. Fortunately, the compression was not severe.
The doctor suggested a treatment plan using laser therapy to avoid surgery. The laser uses radio frequency waves to reduce the pressure within the intervertebral disc and can help it shrink back – a new and advanced technique.
After deciding to undergo treatment, Khun Om spent one night in the hospital for recovery. He then returned home the following day. The result was that the pain he had been experiencing disappeared, as the nerve was no longer compressed.
Before leaving, the young actor said a few words:
“It’s quite difficult to completely recover or improve this much…but today, it’s possible.”

S Spine Hospital would like to thank you for trusting and choosing our services at the specialist hospital for spine and nervous system treatments.What about you? How do you know if your back pain is related to the spine?
The first step is to check whether the pain is from the muscles or another condition. However, if the pain radiates down the leg, it is often caused by a spine-related issue, such as nerve compression. If you notice these symptoms, it is important to consult a specialist promptly.
Taking medication or undergoing physical therapy may help alleviate the pain, but if the pain is severe, an X-ray and MRI are recommended for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
Treating the root cause for long-term recovery is the highest priority for the medical team at S Spine Hospital.
If the pain doesn’t go away… come see us.

Posterior Cervical Endoscopic Discectomy (PSCD)
Neck pain radiating down the arm is typically caused by nerve compression in the cervical spine. Increasingly, younger individuals are being diagnosed with cervical disc herniation due to daily lifestyle habits such as prolonged computer use, looking down at mobile phones for extended periods, poor posture, and injury from accidents.

Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression (PSLD)
Lower back pain radiating down the leg often stems from nerve compression in the lumbar spine. This condition is common among working adults and the elderly, as well as those with habits that accelerate spinal degeneration—such as prolonged sitting or standing in the same position, improper lifting techniques, spinal injuries from accidents, and high-impact physical activities.

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression
A herniated disc occurs when an intervertebral disc slips out of its normal position and may press on nearby nerves. This condition commonly affects the lumbar spine, particularly at levels L4-L5 and L5-S1. It typically results from age-related disc degeneration, prolonged sitting, improper lifting techniques, or spinal trauma from accidents.

Full Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Full Endo TLIF)
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward out of its normal alignment. This commonly occurs in the lower spine, especially at the L5-S1 level. It is frequently found in older adults due to degenerative disc disease, where the weakening of spinal discs leads to instability and vertebral displacement.

Endoscopic Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (Endoscopic ACDF)
Endoscopic ACDF is a surgical procedure used to treat severe cervical disc degeneration or disc herniation in the neck. When the disc becomes too damaged to absorb shock or herniates and compresses the spinal nerves, it can cause radiating pain down the arms and hands, significantly affecting daily life.

Vertebroplasty (Cement Injection)
Vertebral fractures or collapses are serious spinal conditions that typically occur due to bone degeneration, accidents, or severe trauma. These injuries can lead to significant pain and impair mobility. They are mostly seen in patients aged 50 and above, especially those with underlying osteoporosis.

Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB)
Patients suffering from back pain caused by inflammation of the nerve root or foramen—often due to herniated discs or spinal joint inflammation—may experience radiating pain along the nerve pathway, even if the condition is still in its early stages. In such cases, a Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain effectively.
