: Overcoming degenerative disc disease
Mr Abdullah, a 41-year old patient from Saudi Arabia, suffered from degenerative disc disease for many years. After long-term and unsuccessful treatment methods, he came in October 2020 to the International Medical Centre at Schoen Clinic Vogtareuth. After a brief attempt at conservative treatment, he underwent a minimally invasive microscope-assisted surgery, and the pain receded. Plus, specialists could discontinue the previously needed strong painkillers.
The surgery was carried out by the experienced neurosurgery team, overseen by Dr Manfred Kudernatsch, Head of Department.
“Mr Abdullah was treated by us promptly after a long-term illness, and he is now symptom-free, ” said Dr Völker, Head of Department of the International Medical Centre.
“I know Schoen Clinic since 2017 when I had my first procedure here. For that reason, I decided to come here for the second time. Here you can find high-qualified specialists, therapists and nurses, all at the top of their fields. I’m satisfied with my treatment. Plus, any problem that I have, they always find a solution within a short period.” - Mr Abdullah, patient.
