Cervical and lumbar disc disease, what kind of condition is it?

A condition in which a disc between the vertebrae protrudes and presses on a nerve root, causing neck or back pain together with radiating pain into the limbs. Characteristically the pain worsens with coughing or sneezing.

Examination and testing identify the cause, and

Advanced Equipment

  • SIEMENS3T AI MRIWe add AI imaging (Deep Resolve) to a proven Siemens 3T MRI to examine neurological conditions faster and more clearly.
  • MRACerebrovascular and carotid MRAIt accurately evaluates the degree of atherosclerosis, stenosis, structural abnormality, and the presence of aneurysm in the vessels of the brain and neck.
  • Carotid USCarotid UltrasoundCarotid wall thickness and plaque are examined to assess stroke risk.
  • NCS / EMGNerve conduction studiesNerves in the arms, legs, and face are safely stimulated electrically and the responses recorded, establishing whether peripheral nerve damage is present and how severe it is.
  • EPEvoked potential testBy safely stimulating the visual and auditory pathways electrically, damage to the cranial nerves can be identified.
  • EEGAI digital EEGBeyond the conventional identification of epileptiform waveforms, quantitative EEG with the latest AI software aids in assessing brain function in headache, anxiety, and depression.
  • VNGVideo nystagmographyBy recording and analyzing involuntary eye movement on video, this test is useful for distinguishing dizziness disorders such as BPPV and Meniere's disease.
  • HRV / SSRAutonomic Function TestEquipment that objectively assesses the balance between the body's sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.
  • PWV / ABIArterial elasticity testingBy measuring vessel elasticity and the degree of atherosclerosis, it readily assesses the risk of circulatory disturbance and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
  • Wearable ECG/BPWearable cardiac function testingA micro-sensor continuously analyzes blood pressure and ECG over 24 hours to identify cardiac dysfunction capable of causing a stroke.
  • SNSB / CERADNeuropsychological testingIt distinguishes simple forgetfulness from dementia and objectively evaluates cognitive function including memory.
  • LABBlood and genetic testingWe identify risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, including dyslipidemia, and look for high-risk dementia genes in advance so that prevention can begin.
