About the clinic
Herniated disk care at Town Hospital in Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, Egypt includes diagnosis, non-surgical care, injections, and surgery. The hospital has a dedicated neurosurgery center founded in 2022 and uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for spine procedures.
Diagnosis with 3-Tesla MRI and 128-slice CT
Assessment can include a spine consultation, imaging, and a treatment plan. Dr. Ahmed El Ghannam, a neurosurgery consultant, handles surgical consultations for herniated disks.
- Back, Neck & Disc package: Includes a spine consultation, MRI, plain X-ray, and a treatment plan.
- MRI of the spine: Available on-site using a 3-Tesla scanner.
- Other diagnostic options: Include plain X-ray, 128-slice CT, and EMG/EEG nerve studies.
- Surgical consultation: Helps assess whether surgery may be suitable.
Non-surgical treatment and steroid injections
Most herniated disk cases improve without surgery; the clinic reports that 70–90% resolve this way. Care may include rest, avoiding activities that trigger pain, and applying ice or heat.
- Physical therapy: Sessions strengthen muscles around the spine and improve flexibility.
- Medication therapy: Pain relievers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce pain and inflammation under medical supervision.
- Steroid injection: A direct injection into the affected area may help when conservative care does not work.
Discectomy using microsurgery and neuro-navigation
Surgery may be considered for severe cases or when conservative treatment fails and nerve compression is clear. A discectomy removes the slipped disc portion to relieve pressure on nerves.
After surgery, returning to daily activities may take several weeks, while full recovery can take months. For cervical cases, light activity may resume in 4–8 weeks. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.

I stayed with my husband after a quick surgery and we were impressed by the warm and professionally quick reception service; we finished in 15 min.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room and bathroom were very clean.
The nurses were friendly, smiling and quiet in a professional way, they knew what to do.
My husband was very relaxed and calm because of the surrounding crew throughout our stay, even in the surgery room all was calm and peaceful.
I only had one suggestion of having lether couches in the room instead of fabric and they already told me that they are in the process of a replacement.
HR Mr. Ekramy was very friendly , took my comments seriously and made us feel welcomed and calm.
Thank you all, for the super services during our stay.

I recently had a very positive experience with a hospital in Cairo, Egypt while my brother underwent a hip replacement surgery. As a Canadian resident, it was my first time dealing with a hospital in Egypt, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received.
Firstly, the hospital itself was immaculately clean, which gave me a sense of comfort and ease knowing that my brother was in a safe and hygienic environment. The staff and security personnel were extremely friendly, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure that my brother and I were comfortable and well-informed about the entire process.
The hospital rooms were also impressive. They were new, clean, and equipped with great amenities that made our stay more comfortable. The nurses were very friendly and active, ensuring that my brother was well taken care of throughout his recovery.
One thing that stood out to me was how professional and polite the security personnel were. They reminded us of the ending visit time and kindly asked us to leave the hospital premises, ensuring that everything was in order without being intrusive.
Overall, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding my brother's surgery, my experience with the hospital was amazing. I would like to thank the staff for their exceptional care and dedication to their patients. Keep up the excellent work, and I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of medical attention in Cairo, Egypt

The worst hospital I have ever seen. Total scammers!
Because we are foreigners, they took advantage of us and charged us for 3 days of hospitalization (my son only had bronchiolitis) — 57,000 EGP!!!
When I refused and argued for 2 hours, they suddenly “reduced” the bill to “only” 40,000. What a joke.
The service was terrible. The doctor was never there. The nurses treated my wife like a prisoner — they even refused to let her leave the room with our son because they were afraid she might leave, even though all our belongings were still there.
To all foreigners: never come here!
May Allah be able to close this hospital of crooks
