'Lee Soo-chan's Jeans" is a program in which CEO Lee Soo-chan visits patients suffering from joint and spinal diseases in person and helps them enjoy a happy daily life through treatment, and trot singer Seol Ha-yoon joined to start a new season.
In the broadcast on this day, CEO Lee Soo-chan looked at the daily life of Lee Jung-soon (68, female), a patient who has long suffered from leg pain and numbness, and revealed the treatment process and prevention methods along with an accurate diagnosis. When I was young, I ran a supermarket and carried a lot of heavy luggage, and the pain got worse. He is taking care of his health by walking 5,000 to 6,000 steps every day along with meals for protein supplementation at home and stretching using rubber bands, but the symptoms of numbness persisted.
Kim Joo-hyun, director of neurosurgery at Mokdong Himchan Hospital, diagnosed spinal stenosis based on Lee's pain patterns and detailed examination results. Spinal canal stenosis is a spinal disease that causes pain in the legs and hips, and the nerve between the vertebrae narrows, which causes the nerves to be pressed, but numbness and pain. In fact, many patients often do not think that the cause of leg pain is the back.
In the broadcast on this day, CEO Lee Soo-chan said, `The participant has suffered from radiating pain in the lower extremities such as numbness in the legs due to stenosis in the 3rd and 4th spines, and was treated through a procedure called balloon dilatation"Balloon dilatation is a treatment that inserts a catheter between the narrowed spinal tubes and inflates the balloon at the end of the catheter to remove the adhesion and widen the passage of the nerve." After the treatment, it was confirmed that the symptoms of radiation pain felt by the patient improved and the space expanded according to the examination"If you build muscle around your waist through constant exercise in the future, you will be able to keep a healthy spine."
The broadcast also revealed lifestyle habits and exercise methods that should be followed in daily life for spinal health. The habit of crossing your legs or doing both legs, excessive twisting of your waist, or moving heavy loads are movements that strain your back, so be careful.
Representative Lee Soo-chan said, `The balloon dilatation performed on this patient is widely applied to the elderly as there is little damage to the normal tissue and the aftereffects because only the catheter is locally anesthetized"We will help patients with joint and spinal diseases recover their health with more accurate and diverse treatments so that they can enjoy a second life in a healthy way. " he said.
