Spine Center
At Wellton Hospital, neurosurgeons equipped with rich knowledge on the musculoskeletal system and body mechanics
help patients with spine problems find healthy life back by providing a comprehensive and complete treatment.
The Spine Center at Wellton Hospital is ultimately aimed at early removal of pain and quick return to normal life. The Center selects the most optimal treatment
for patients via accurate diagnosis using the state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment (3T MRI, digital X-Ray, 384 multi-slice CT, etc.) and 1:1 consultation.
The Center also focuses on non-surgical treatment such as medication that prescribes effective new drugs, injection and high-frequency nerve treatment at
the primary stage to treat spine diseases.
In the event non-surgical treatment does not remove pain and surgery is required, we assist patients’ quick recovery to motion after surgery by performing
minimal incision and surgery using the ultramicroscope. We also provide structured medical consultation based on a multidisciplinary system between
radiology, anesthesiology and the Rehabilitation Treatment Center. This allows for examination, diagnosis, consultation and treatment in just one day.
