Massage in Seoul, South Korea

I was bothered by severe lower back pain. An MRI revealed that the disc between the 2 lumbar vertebrae was destroyed. Despite this, I received conservative treatment, which predictably yielded no results.

I had to turn to the Korean clinic "Uridil", where they immediately suggested disc replacement.

The doctor not only consulted me but also showed me exactly how the surgery would help using a 3D model and a spine mock-up. After that, I had no doubt that the doctors here knew exactly what they were doing! The rehabilitation went very smoothly, and I quickly returned to Russia. To ensure the success of the treatment, the doctor monitored my condition remotely for another six months. 

In Russia, I had spinal surgery with an implant, but it led to complications: thrombosis began, and it became difficult to walk - my knees wouldn't bend. This couldn't go on, and I decided to continue treatment abroad.

After calculating the costs, I realized that Korea was the most cost-effective option, and I went to the "Severance" clinic. It's simply astounding, not a hospital but a whole city. 6 huge buildings with their own infrastructure, shops, cafes, pharmacies. It's beautiful and clean inside, the rooms have a TV with Russian channels, internet, a shower, a nurse call button - they respond within 30 seconds. Food is brought, and you can choose the cuisine! Portions are large, there was always enough for me and my companion. By the way, a companion can stay in the hospital for free.

Before the surgery, the professor's assistant looked at my MRI scans, explained what the surgeon would do, and the possible consequences. In the end, everything was successful: both the treatment and the rehabilitation. Here you can even take a walk in a wheelchair around the territory and floors. In total, I spent 22 very productive days in the clinic.
