• Specialist consultations with a neurosurgeon or orthopedist for assessment.

Surgical Treatment for Herniated Disk

The clinic specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery. Endoscopic discectomy is the primary surgical option. This procedure uses an endoscope inserted through a very small 8-10 mm incision. It treats chronic back pain, leg pain, and numbness caused by the herniated disc. The technique aims for minimal tissue disruption compared to open surgery. This can lead to a faster recovery.

Comprehensive treatment packages are available. They bundle surgery, necessary diagnostics, and post-operative care.

• Endoscopic Discectomy (1 level) Package is typically priced around $14,375. It includes the surgery, a 3 to 4-night hospital stay, one night in the ICU, diagnostics, and transfer to the clinic. Flights, hotel accommodation, and extra physiotherapy are not included.
• Full Endoscopic Discectomy L4-5 Package costs around $14,562. It covers the surgery and a 2-night hospital stay. Accommodation, transfers, and flights are not part of this package.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a key part of recovery. The clinic offers individual physiotherapy sessions to support healing after surgery. These sessions help patients regain strength and mobility safely. To understand the full scope of treatment and final costs, a direct consultation with the specialist is needed.
