Just Standing Up... Felt Like My Back Was Being Yanked
Spinal Treatment and Care
"When I stood up, it felt like something violently yanked my back—I had to freeze in place. No one ever thinks that a minor backache could become something so serious."
"When I stood up, it felt like something violently yanked my back—I had to freeze in place. No one ever thinks that a minor backache could become something so serious."
Wannida used to enjoy her youth to the fullest—immersed in school, hobbies, and the activities she loved. But everything changed when what seemed like a minor backache gradually worsened and became a nightmare that followed her everywhere.
The Onset of Pain… From a Small Jolt to Unbearable Agony
It started about two years ago. One day, while helping to carry a water container—as she often did—she felt a sudden jolt in the middle of her back, like something had been triggered deep inside.
At first, it was just a mild sting. She assumed it was due to lifting incorrectly or tensing her muscles too much and thought it would go away soon. But it didn’t. The stiffness and dull ache in her back gradually intensified.
"Sometimes when I walked, I’d get these sudden jolts—as if something was pulling at my nerves."
Her eyes reflected exhaustion as she spoke about the constant pain she had endured. It wasn’t just physical pain—emotionally, she was worn down as well.
The Fear That Ate Away at Her—Would She Lose the Ability to Walk?
As the symptoms worsened, Wannida decided to see a doctor. An MRI scan revealed a herniated disc. She underwent medication and physical therapy, which brought some relief—briefly. But the pain soon returned, and this time it radiated down her leg.
"The pain was indescribable. I was terrified—scared that one day I wouldn’t be able to walk again. I’m still young. Why did this have to happen to me?" she said with a trembling voice, recalling those painful days.

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.

Posterior Spinal Lumbar Discectomy (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.

LASER
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 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 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.

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.

Nerve Root Block Injection (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.
