The clinic, the first of its kind in Phuket, is accredited by the Bangkok Spine Academy (BSA), which is certified by the US-based Joint Commission International. Hospital Director Dr Narongrit Havarungsi, who presided over the opening ceremony on March 31, accepted the BSA accreditation certificate from BSA microscopic surgeon Dr Chaiyuth Suteerayongprasert. Dr Narongrit, who is also an orthopedic surgeon, said the number of people suffering from spine-related conditions appears to be on the rise. Such conditions may be caused by several factors, ranging from work-related injuries, aging, congenital conditions and microbial infection, he said. The Spine Clinic, established jointly by the Bangkok Hospital Phuket Orthopedic Center and the BSA, offers a wide range of cutting-edge services and technologies, increasing new treatment options for spinal patients. Dr Chaiyuth, a Bangkok Hospital Phuket microsurgeon, said the clinic offers minimally-invasive surgery that is safer, less painful and produces smaller wounds, thus allowing patients to heal faster and return to their daily lives. The Spine Clinic also offers special injections to relieve pain symptoms in patients with compressed nerves, he said. The Spine Clinic is now open daily from 8am to 5pm. For more information call the hospital call center on 1719. Source: http://www.facebook....uketGazette.net -- Phuket Gazette 2012-04-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
