Specialized Spinal Surgery in Thailand

The spine is considered the center of the entire body; its most important function is protecting the spinal cord and nerves that branch out from the brain to all the other parts of the body. But it also enables us to walk and run upright and enjoy the freedom of twisting and bending motions it provides. 

Encountering problems with your back and spine can affect both your health and lifestyle. If you are suffering from chronic back pain and have reached the stage of requiring surgery or treatment, Vejthani Hospital’s Spine Center in Bangkok, Thailand, is the place for you.

Our Spine Center makes use of the latest advanced medical technologies and techniques to provide the finest possible spinal surgery in Bangkok, Thailand. Our team of highly trained spine doctors and surgeons aims to educate and assist patients in the decision-making process. It provides them with a full range of options and information, explains all available surgical and non-surgical treatment options, possible risks, and complications, and informs them of the expected benefits.

Our doctors also seek to educate the patient on how to move safely so the injury won’t become a recurring one, and the patient can enjoy a better quality of life. 

Each patient’s case is thoroughly reviewed by a spine specialist to determine the best course of action to fix the problem at its root cause. The treatment depends on the severity and the causes of the back pain. Often it is a non-surgical treatment, such as medication and rehabilitation. However, in some progressive cases, spinal surgery treatment may be needed.

During the diagnosis, the doctor will examine your back and assess your ability to sit, stand, walk, and lift your legs. The doctor in Thailand may order one or more tests, such as an X-Ray, MRI or CT scan, blood test, and/or nerve studies if it is suspected that a spinal condition requiring surgery or treatment is causing your back pain.

If you have any of the following back pain symptoms, you need to seek professional medical care as soon as possible to treat the existing problem and prevent further injury:

• Pain after an injury, fall, or accident
• Severe pain that persists despite stretching and rest
• Three consecutive months of chronic back pain
• Sciatica or radicular pain (radiating into the hips, legs, and feet)

Any of the following problems are an additional red flag:

• Weakness in the legs
• Tenderness or numbness in the rectal, leg or foot area
• Fever, nausea, or vomiting
• Sudden weight loss
• Urination issues

Seek medical treatment immediately if you have any of these mentioned symptoms. At Vejthani Hospital’s Spine Center in Thailand, we will precisely diagnose the cause and create a surgery or treatment plan that works best for you.
