  • Back pain from internal disc herniation (Discogenic Pain).

Steps of the Minimally Invasive Disc-FX Procedure

  1. Local Anesthesia: The patient receives local anesthesia in a sterilized operating room. 
  2. Precision Needle Placement: A small needle is inserted into the disc under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure access to the herniated portion of the disc. 
  3. Herniated Disc Removal: A fine instrument is used to remove the herniated section of the disc causing pain. 
  4. Disc Cauterization: The treated area is cauterized to prevent future disc herniation or complications.

Are all cases treatable with non-surgical solutions?

Certainly not, some cases must be treated surgically, and the most appropriate technique for the patient is determined through a medical examination and the presence of imaging studies.
 

Someone attend without a reservation?

No, it is necessary to make a reservation through a phone call or social media messages.
 

Are there any risks associated with pain treatment?

There are no risks or side effects associated with non-surgical pain interventions.

How long is the required stay in Egypt for a non-surgical intervention? (for foreign patients)

The patient needs only 3 to 4 days before they can travel comfortably, and the hospital stay does not exceed 6 to 8 hours.

Can a condition be diagnosed without imaging or a medical examination?

A condition cannot be accurately assessed and a proper medical diagnosis made without a medical examination and recent imaging studies.
 

Can reservations and payments be made via Visa before attending?

Yes, there are several payment methods available through Visa or electronic wallets by making a reservation on our website.

Does obesity affect knee osteoarthritis?

Certainly, obesity is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis.

Does radiofrequency cause nerve damage?

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.

Are non-surgical interventions a definitive treatment for spinal and joint diseases?

Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.

Can a herniated disc reoccur after a medical procedure?

If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.

Is the entire disc will be removed?

The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
 

Can radiofrequency remove a herniated disc?

This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.

Can the success or failure of non-surgical intervention be judged by post-intervention radiographic imaging?

The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.

Does spinal stenosis cause sciatica?

Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.

Does sciatica return after thermal ablation?

Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.

What are the causes of lower back pain?

Lower back pain can result from several causes, including a herniated disc, nerve compression, muscle strain, or chronic spinal injuries. Lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting, muscle weakness, and excess weight can also exacerbate the problem.

Can lower back pain be treated without surgery?

Yes, most cases can be successfully managed with non-surgical treatment for lower back pain. Options such as medication, nerve root injection, disc injection, and radiofrequency therapy are highly effective in relieving pain and improving mobility without the need for surgery.

 

What is the best treatment for back pain?

The best treatment for back pain depends on the cause and severity of the condition. Typically, it starts with medication for back pain, followed by minimally invasive procedures like nerve root injections or radiofrequency therapy to target the source of pain effectively.

 

Is radiofrequency therapy safe for chronic back pain?

Yes, radiofrequency therapy is considered a safe and effective option for chronic lower back pain. It works by interrupting pain signals from the affected nerves and provides long-lasting relief, especially in cases of herniated disc and spinal pain.
