A 50-year-old male patient from Singapore sought medical treatment at our clinic for persistent back pain

Patient Information

Male, 50s

Diseases/Symptoms

• Herniated Disc
• Sciatica

Patient Condition

The patient began experiencing back pain after exercising in his 30s. For the past two years, he has experienced dull pain and numbness from the right buttock to the calf when driving or doing desk work. He came to our clinic today on the recommendation of a coworker who has received treatment here.

Examination

MRI of the lumbar spine showed deformation of the disc between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, diagnosed as Herniated Disc. This is considered the cause of Sciatica.

Treatment

DRT (Disc Regeneration Therapy)

Discography is performed to identify the damaged area of the disc, and DRT (Disc Regeneration Therapy) was performed.

In Singapore, English is used as the standard language, so communication was conducted in English.

The desire for painless treatment is common worldwide, and in this case, we used sedation to perform the treatment.

DRT (Disc Regeneration Therapy) is being performed. Treatment time is 23 minutes.

Words from the Clinic Director

Today, I performed the treatment with enthusiasm because this patient was referred by a patient from Singapore whom I treated five years ago. Last weekend, I was on duty at the Tokyo clinic, but this week I am on duty at the Osaka clinic, so I can use the Kansai dialect without hesitation.

By the way, yesterday, the Hanshin Tigers won the game against the SoftBank with a grand slam from Watanabe. I am not strong with alcohol, but I was too excited and drank beer from the afternoon, so my memory after 6:00 p.m. is a bit hazy. I have to be careful with alcohol. Drink, but don't get drunk.
