Neck Pain

Comprehensive Neck Pain Treatment at Gangnam Nanoori Hospital

Expert Care for Neck Pain in Seoul, Korea

Neck pain is a common condition that can significantly impact daily life, causing stiffness, discomfort, and limited mobility. At Gangnam Nanoori Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating neck pain with minimally invasive techniques and advanced spinal treatments to ensure faster recovery and long-term relief.



Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can arise from various conditions, including:

  • Herniated Cervical Disc – When spinal discs in the neck compress nearby nerves, leading to pain and numbness.
  • Cervical Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal, which puts pressure on nerves and causes pain or weakness.
  • Cervical Spondylosis (Arthritis of the Neck) – Age-related wear and tear on the cervical spine.
  • Muscle Strains & Poor Posture – Long hours at a desk or excessive phone use can lead to chronic neck pain.
  • Whiplash & Trauma – Sudden injuries from car accidents or sports can strain neck muscles and ligaments.


Minimally Invasive Neck Pain Treatments at Gangnam Nanoori Hospital

At Gangnam Nanoori Hospital, we prioritize non-surgical and minimally invasive approaches before considering major surgery. Our treatments include:

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation – Strengthening exercises and posture correction.
  • Pain Management Injections – Corticosteroid or nerve block injections for pain relief.
  • Medication & Lifestyle Adjustments – Anti-inflammatory drugs and ergonomic recommendations.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Spinal Endoscopy (5mm Incision) – A tiny incision is made to remove herniated disc material without damaging surrounding tissues.
  • Percutaneous Nucleoplasty – A high-frequency probe reduces the size of a herniated disc.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Heat energy is used to disrupt pain signals from nerves.

3. Advanced Surgical Options (If Required)

  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF) – Removes damaged discs and stabilizes the spine.
  • Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement – Preserves motion by replacing the damaged disc with an artificial implant.
