MainI had disc surgery and resumed my activities
Date|2021.10.29


Recently, the Korean famous singer “Jeon Jin” had a lumbar intervertebral herniated disc surgery
at Wooridul Spine Hospital and started singer activity again.
According to the Wooridul Spine Hospital, he felt numbness in his legs, senseless, and
had poor blood circulation from 10 years ago frequently. When performing or moving in the car
he sits for a long time and keeps the posture, leg pain gets worse,
so he has to sit up and stand repeatedly.


Even though he suffered in pain, he kept the singer active by taking a painkiller.
and he thought it would be better if I developed muscle strength with his favorite exercise.


But the more intense he worked out, the more he couldn't stand the pain,
eventually one of his friends who had been treated recommended Wooridul Spine Hospital.


His diagnosis was the Lumbar Intervertebral Herniated disc at L5-L6.
The herniated disc was pressing on the surrounding nerves,
tearing the fibrous tissue, and causing pain in both directions.
It was already in a severe condition with the pathological disc becoming rigid.



Wooridul Spine Hospital said “After making a very small incision of about 3cm in the skin,
we removed only a tiny fragment of the spinal bone,
approximately the size of a fingernail, under microscopic magnification and illumination.
Using a laser, we then performed a Microscopic Lumbar Decompression, selectively removing pathological disc fragments.
Because he is still young, it appears that with consistent and appropriate physical therapy,
he would be able to engage in both daily activities and his favorite sports without any issues.”
