Over several years, the pain gradually worsened and became significantly more severe in the past year. Medications and spinal steroid injections offered only short-term relief, and eventually the pain became overwhelming, affecting every part of his daily life. Even though resting was difficult—at bedtime, he often needed strong massage therapy just to be able to fall asleep. He also began experiencing neck pain and headaches, not realizing at first that these symptoms were related.

After consulting the specialist team at S Spine and Joint Hospital and undergoing MRI examinations, the cause became clear: disc problems in both the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) spine. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan was recommended, including endoscopic spine surgery for the lower back and laser treatment for the neck, aiming to relieve pain and restore quality of life.

Reflecting on his experience, he shared: “Health is more important than wealth. When you are in constant pain, money means nothing.”
