Expert Treatment for Disc Herniation in Istanbul
Cervical and lumbar disc herniation treated through micro-endoscopic corridors — less tissue damage, faster return to daily life.
What is Disc Herniation?
A disc herniation occurs when the soft inner core of an intervertebral disc pushes through its tougher outer ring, pressing on nearby nerves. This causes pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs.
At Central Ortho & Spine our surgeons evaluate every patient with MRI-based planning and prefer the least invasive approach — from physiotherapy and injections to micro-discectomy and full-endoscopic surgery.
- Most common at L4–L5 and L5–S1 (lumbar) and C5–C6 (cervical) levels
- Symptoms: sciatica, radiating arm pain, numbness, or muscle weakness
- 80–90% of cases resolve without surgery within 6–12 weeks
- Surgery is indicated for persistent neurological deficit or failed conservative treatment
