Treatments

The surgical options we offer, organised by area — technical name first, plain description in brackets.

When surgery genuinely helps, when it doesn't, and the questions worth asking before you decide.

Neck

Removing a damaged disc in the neck and fusing the two vertebrae together.

An alternative to fusion — replacing the disc while keeping the neck moving.

Lower Back

Removing the piece of disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back.

Making more room for the nerves when the spinal canal has narrowed.

Fusing two vertebrae in the lower back to stop them slipping and moving.

Deformity

Straightening and stabilising a curved spine with rods and screws.

Across All Surgery

Smaller incisions, less muscle damage, and a faster recovery for suitable procedures.
