“NO HERNIATED DISCRETION REQUIRES SURGERY”

Dr. Taşkın said, “Congenital abnormalities in the vertebrae and spinal cords, traumas, infections, herniated discs and calcification in the newborn period are among the causes of low back pain. The important thing is to differentiate them and treat them. Not every back pain is a herniated disc . Not every herniated disc means surgery.

We prevent the pain of many patients with various methods. “It is possible for the patient to recover with medical or physical therapy,” he said.
