At our clinic, we provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for spinal and pain disorders. During your initial consultation, we review your medical history and symptoms before recommending appropriate treatment options.
Care may include pain management, therapy treatment, facet joint injections or minimally invasive techniques such as keyhole surgery. For more complex disorders or spinal injuries related to trauma, our spinal consultants and surgeons may recommend spinal surgery or back surgery where appropriate.
Spinal surgery or spine surgery may be considered when conservative measures have not relieved symptoms such as unbearable pain, progressive leg pain or neurological symptoms caused by spinal cord compression or disc prolapse.
Surgery is carried out by one of our professional spinal surgeons with extensive experience in managing complex spine cases. We offer same-day diagnostics where possible and clear guidance about risks as well as benefits, ensuring patients understand their treatment plan before proceeding with private treatment or back surgery.
