Its founder,\u00a0Dr. Royo-Salvador<\/strong>, discovered a new disease, the Filum Disease, and how to diagnose and treat it. In order to spread their knowledge to the entire international scientific community, Dr. Royo and his team work incessantly in the development of their studies and publications.

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nIn 1975, Dr. Miguel B. Royo-Salvador (founder of the Institut Chiari de Barcelona) began his research, initially focussing on the cause of Idiopathic Syringomyelia, followed by the cause of Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Type I and later on by the one of Idiopathic Scoliosis and related conditions. The treatment that the Institut Chiari de Barcelona currently provides to patients is the result of more than four decades of extensive work carried out by Dr. Royo and his team.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nThe Filum System\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0method eliminates the cause of the Filum Disease and halts the progression of Arnold Chiari Syndrome Type I, Idiopathic Syringomyelia and Idiopathic Scoliosis (in addition to the other related conditions).\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nThe method developed and applied by the Institut Chiari de Barcelona (Filum System\u00ae<\/sup>) applies minimally invasive surgical techniques through cutting-edge technologies and instrumentation. This allows reducing the mortality and serious complication rate to 0%. In addition, for the standard treatment, the surgical time has been reduced from 4 hours to 45 minutes, the hospitalisation from 1 week to 1 night, and anaesthesia from general to local in most procedures.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
