A Sharp Pain in the Back… A Turning Point That Nearly Took Away His Ability to Walk
Spinal Treatment and Care
“I cried... I never thought I’d reach this point—when my body no longer felt like my own, and my legs stopped following my commands.”
“I cried... I never thought I’d reach this point—when my body no longer felt like my own, and my legs stopped following my commands.”
Mr. Theerayut had always been a strong man. His life revolved around automotive work and heavy lifting. Never did he imagine that simply walking up a pedestrian bridge would become impossible—and mark a turning point in his life.
That day seemed like any other. He went out to buy groceries as usual. But as he stepped onto the pedestrian bridge, a sharp pain shot through his mid-back and radiated down his leg. “I tried to force myself to walk, but my legs wouldn’t move. My brain was giving the order, but my legs wouldn’t obey.”
He stood frozen, heart pounding, drenched in sweat, clutching the rail tightly. Pain surged through his body—completely out of his control.
“I turned to look at the street, and tears just came. I used to do everything myself, and now I was crying by the roadside—because my legs wouldn’t move.”
Worsening Symptoms… and the Option No One Wants to Hear
As his symptoms worsened, Theerayut sought treatment, hoping to find a way back to normal life. Instead, he was told to lose weight to ease the pain.
Though he tried to follow the advice, his underlying diabetes made weight loss extremely difficult. Time passed and the pain persisted. Eventually, he was told he might need open surgery to remove the herniated disc and place metal implants in his spine. The fear overwhelmed him—he knew how risky such major surgery could be.
Hope Found on the Brink of Giving Up
He went home with a haunting question looping in his mind: “Will I never walk again?” Fear, anxiety, and uncertainty consumed him.
But unwilling to give up, he began researching spinal treatments—and discovered there was a minimally invasive option using endoscopic surgery, with no need for metal implants.
“I saw reviews about this hospital… they performed endoscopic surgery with incisions as small as a pen tip. I knew instantly—this was my way out.”
One Night, Back Home… A New Life He Never Thought He’d Get Back
The surgery was quick, and he could walk on the very first day. The man who once endured pain and hopelessness was now standing tall again.
“Before surgery, I didn’t even realize when my shoe fell off. But afterward, just walking barefoot—I could feel the coolness of the floor. I hadn’t felt that in years. In just one night, I could walk again. I truly got my life back.”

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.
