Top Ichilov: Accurate Diagnostics – Correct Treatment
The main thing to consider when experiencing back pain is that increasingly, seemingly harmless and familiar pains are hiding an intervertebral (intervertebral) hernia, which without proper treatment can lead to disc herniation and, in the worst case, paralysis. To enhance the comfort of patients undergoing spinal hernia treatment in Israel, the international department of Top Ichilov provides them with a personal assistant-coordinator. This person meets the clinic's client at the airport, helps organize daily life, provides translation services, and even conducts tours.
First Day – Preliminary Examination
The day after arriving in Israel, the patient is referred for a consultation with one of the leading spinal surgeons in the country. The doctor conducts a primary examination, studies the results of previous examinations, compiles a medical history, and plans basic diagnostics. If the patient has already undergone any diagnostic studies at another clinic, they will be considered only after thorough revision. Unfortunately, about 40% of all research results brought from the CIS turn out to be false.
Second Day – Examination
Back pain has recently become one of the most common medical problems. In the spinal surgery department of Top Ichilov clinic, a number of modern diagnostic procedures are successfully carried out. In some cases, the treating physician may refer the patient for additional examinations. The latest diagnostic equipment allows for a complete examination of patients at the highest level. Based on the obtained data, the patient is informed whether it is possible to treat the intervertebral hernia without surgery; in Israel, this practice is one of the most common.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using the latest devices with the highest resolution currently available at 3 Tesla.
Computed Tomography (CT) allows determining the localization and extent of damage to the spinal bone structures.
X-ray of the spine – vertebrogram. A contrast agent is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid, and X-ray helps visualize areas of pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This method allows assessing the necessity of performing neurosurgical treatment for intervertebral hernia; in Israel, this diagnostic method has been successfully used for over 12 years.
Electromyography (nerve conduction analysis). This method allows detecting damaged nerves.
If you feel pain, don’t delay, consult specialists!
Third Day – Treatment Plan
