Saqr Hospital Unveils SpineMed Device for Advanced Spinal Treatment
In a landmark development for physiotherapy in the region, Saqr Hospital, part of Emirates Health Services (EHS), has introduced the SpineMed spinal decompression system, a cutting-edge device offering non-surgical solutions for spinal disorders. This innovation, a first within EHS facilities, aims to alleviate chronic pain and improve the quality of life for patients.
The SpineMed system addresses conditions such as herniated discs, facet joint arthritis, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and generalized back and neck pain. By relieving pressure on vertebrae and spinal discs, it provides a highly effective, non-invasive alternative for managing spinal issues.
Enhancing Healthcare Standards
Dr. Muna Al Ayyan, Director of Saqr Hospital, hailed the SpineMed system as a significant advancement in the hospital’s therapeutic services. She reaffirmed the hospital's commitment to adopting global medical technologies that provide effective solutions for patients while enhancing their quality of life.
“This innovation reflects our ongoing dedication to delivering the highest standards of care and alleviating the suffering of patients with spinal conditions,” Dr. Al Ayyan stated.
The Physiotherapy Department at Saqr Hospital currently manages between 120 to 130 patients daily, with a majority presenting spinal or back-related issues. The SpineMed system is expected to improve treatment efficacy significantly. The protocol involves 20 to 25 sessions, each lasting around 30 minutes, with patients undergoing 3 to 5 sessions per week depending on their specific needs.
Comprehensive Training and Expertise
To ensure optimal outcomes, Saqr Hospital has provided intensive training for its physiotherapy team on using the SpineMed system. This initiative reflects the hospital's commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery and underscores its role as a leading reference center for spinal care in the UAE.
Pioneering Spinal Care in the UAE
The introduction of the SpineMed device reinforces Saqr Hospital’s dedication to pioneering therapeutic innovations. It aligns with Emirates Health Services' vision to integrate advanced medical technologies across its facilities, ensuring comprehensive and world-class healthcare for the UAE population.
