A dislocation of the vertebrae, or spine, occurs when one of the vertebrae moves forward out of alignment. It most commonly occurs in the lower vertebrae, or L4-L5, and is more common in older adults.
Due to degenerative bone and joint conditions, these causes cause patients to experience excruciating back pain, especially when moving or changing postures. Some patients are unable to walk.
Check for spinal disc dislocation
- Lower back pain: This is the most common symptom. People may feel a dull ache or a deep stabbing pain in their lower back.
- Hip pain radiating down the leg: A bone movement can compress a nerve, causing pain radiating down the leg, usually in the hip or thigh.
- Muscle weakness: Some patients may experience weakness in the leg muscles, which limits their mobility.
- Numbness or tingling: A pinched nerve can cause numbness, tingling, or an electric shock sensation in certain areas of your leg.
Diagnosis of spinal disc herniation
S Spine Hospital emphasizes finding the cause before treatment. Specialist doctors will perform a thorough assessment. If the patient has symptoms indicating a spinal disc disease, they will need to undergo an X-ray and MRI to see an overall picture of the displaced lumbar spine and the pinched nerves from the displaced bones before selecting a treatment method.

With S-Quality standards, we place importance on specialized doctors who have been trained in treatment methods according to hospital standards, allowing all doctors to care for patients on behalf of one another. Our team of specialized assistants therefore understands how to treat spinal diseases, including specialized modern technology designed for the treatment of spinal joint diseases, such as leading surgical equipment from around the world, allowing patients to receive effective treatment.
Treatment steps with Full Endo TLIF technique
- Find the cause of the patient: The doctor searches for the cause of the disease by using an X-ray to check for spinal movement and an MRI to look for abnormalities in the joints that are pressing on the nerves. The doctor must use the results of both parts to make an accurate diagnosis.
- Preoperative preparation: Patients will be advised on how to prepare for treatment, such as fasting and not drinking for a period of time before treatment. Patients will undergo a thorough physical examination.
- Full Endo TLIF technique: The doctor will use a small camera (endoscope) attached to the end of the tube to drill through the skin to help with vision and insert equipment to remove the part that presses on the nerves, while not cutting off some muscles. After that, an artificial disc will be inserted through a special endoscope and the spinal joints will be connected with 3 more drilling screws, resulting in less blood loss and a small surgical wound, no more than 1 centimeter or equal to the size of the screws holding the bone together.
- Follow-up and recovery: After treatment, the doctor and a team of specialized assistants will continuously follow up on the treatment and evaluate the patient’s symptoms to ensure that the pain is reduced and there are no complications. The patient only needs to stay in the hospital for 2 nights and can return to their normal daily life.
