Did you know our newly appointed DOH Secretary is an orthopedic surgeon? 🇵🇭

Many people think orthopedic surgeons only treat broken bones—but our specialty covers much more than that, including sports injuries, joint replacement, hand surgery, pediatric orthopedics, orthopedic oncology, trauma, and spine surgery.

As an orthopedic spine surgeon, I’m proud to see our specialty represented in this important role.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “orthopedic surgeon”? 👇

My X-ray is normal… so why is my arm still weak?”

A normal X-ray or CT scan after trauma does not always mean the spinal cord is uninjured.

In this reel, I discuss SCIWORA (Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiographic Abnormality)—a condition where patients can have spinal cord injury despite normal X-rays or CT scans. Early recognition is important, especially when weakness or numbness persists after trauma.

This reel is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. If you’ve experienced trauma with persistent neurological symptoms, seek immediate medical evaluation.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)? Does it mean you need surgery? 🤔

If your MRI or x-ray says Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), don’t panic. Disc degeneration is a common part of aging and does not always cause back or neck pain.

Remember: We treat the patient—not the MRI.

After an unforgettable family vacation in the USA and Scientific Meeting in Cebu, it’s time to get back to what I love—helping patients and creating content for Spine Talk with Doc Dadz. 🎥🩺

It’s been a while since my last vlog, but we’re back with more videos on back pain, neck pain, slipped discs, sciatica, endoscopic spine surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, and practical tips to help you move better and live pain-free.

Thanks for sticking with me. See you in the next episode!

The Endoscopic Spine Learning Curve

One of the concepts I shared during the inaugural Philippine Endoscopic Spine Group Meeting.

Many think the learning curve in endoscopic spine surgery is simply about mastering the endoscope.

I’ve learned it’s really about developing judgment.

Every surgeon goes through excitement, overconfidence, humility, growth, and eventually, surgical maturity. Each case teaches a lesson.

The true learning curve isn’t mastering the endoscope—it’s mastering judgment.

Because the goal isn’t to do every case endoscopically.

It’s to choose the right operation for the right patient at the right time.

Confidence becomes quieter. Judgment becomes louder.

A surgeon can change a life.
A teacher can change thousands. My passion for endoscopic spine surgery goes beyond patient care.

Every patient I treat is important. But every surgeon I train has the potential to help hundreds, if not thousands, more.

Teaching is one of the most meaningful ways to multiply our impact and touch more lives.

Planning to go to Singapore for discoplasty? 🇸🇬✈️ STOP.

You may not need to leave the Philippines anymore 🇵🇭

If you have chronic back pain from a disc problem (discogenic pain)—
especially pain that persists despite therapy or medications—
👉 there is now a minimally invasive option available locally: Discoplasty

✔ No large incision
✔ Targeted for disc-related pain
✔ Faster recovery (for selected patients)

Many Filipinos search for “discoplasty Singapore” or travel abroad for this procedure—
but you may not need to anymore.

⚠️ Not all patients are candidates. Proper diagnosis is key.

📩 Message us or book a consultation to find out if this is right for you.
